Cannot read the CD after you have used the active file system

I use the active file system in Vista to save my work on CD - R. I have often refer to these discs, and occasionally add other files. Once the disk is full, I start a new.

After referencing files on a disc, I pushed the button as usual. The disc was not immediately ejected. A window on the toolbar open and told me to wait and finally ejected the disc.  When I tried to use the disc again, I could not access the data. I know that the data is still on the disk. In 'Computer' I see '327 MB 702 MB free space'.

If I click on the drive or try to open it, I get a message "no answer." Finally, I get a window that says to "drag files to the disc to add data. Vista think it as a blank disc.

Is it possible to access data on the disk, so I can save up to a new drive? Also, what hurts which has caused this problem? I don't want to do it again.

Thank you!
Bob

Hello

Check the drive in another computer, better check in several. CD and DVD door, especially
RW. If the question with a single disc? There are companies that may be able to recover the
data if it is quite expensive.

Very good idea to have redundant backups.

I hope this helps.
