This is what is now know as a "coaster" since it's best just to use it as that now anyways. Either it got messed up in the burning process (you should ALWAYS manually check to see if files are accessible on it instead of relying on software saying it burned successfuly BEFORE deleting your files off your hard drive), bad media or any number of different things.\n\nSometimes, rarely, you just need to restart your computer because another application won't let go of using information from it. The media can be fixed by what brand and model you get. You should check online for reviews of certain brands and model of CD-R's. They are not all equally built the same. My Imation model did much better than Memorex (a better know company). \n\nThen again, CD-R's are only guaranteed to last around 10 years. Since not all makes and models are the same, you can't always get as much lifetime as you'd think. CD's already burned (music cd that you buy at a store) versus CD-R and you'll know the pre-burned one will have a shelf life of 100 years. This is because of the process to burn it. You're burning it on the outside for the most part and music cd's, cd-roms, etc are burned THEN pressed together. I've lost data to faulty brands in the past.\n\nAlso, your cd-rom drive could need to be updated. Check for firmware updates.\n\nIf you REALLY have critical data on that disc that you MUST need, there are specialists that can get it off for you. However, it's expensive.\n\nTry a different cd-rom. Sometimes only CD-RW drives will read certain formatted cd-r's.\n\nA trick that I've done before but rarely works is insert it into another cd-rom and use another disc to burn it again from the failed copy. It's not guaranteed but it's worth a shot.\n\nLike I said, there could be any number of reasons and I just listed a few, not all. More than likely though, 99.99% of the time, it's a coaster and you can't use it. Should always check to see if it's on there BEFORE deleting your files. To reduce bad burns, go to a slower setting on burning it. Instead of 52X, try 48X and go lower if it need be. A certain brand of DVD-R that I've had before was rated for 16X, yet to get successful burns, I had to use the 4X setting. Slower but at least it's not failed.

Verify that you do not have a bad disk by loading it into another PC.  If you do not have another computer handy, re-make the disk and then see if it will load.  It may be that the program requires read/write access and it may not work on a CD-Rom at all.

Try running checkdisk on it.  If that doesn't work, it's probably not going to open.

Try opening it with an unfolded paper clip: There is a small hole just under the CD tray. Insert the unfolded clip until the tray pops out.\nYou probably have a mechanical problem. Check if any foreign objects are in the drive. Although I'm almost sure it will be unusable.

What system are you running?\n\nWhat disc did you copy them onto?\nIf you have put them onto a standard CD they are always going to be read only.\n\nIf you are using XP and the files are on your hard drive then you can change the file attributes buy unchecking the 'read only' box in file properties.\n\nSome more details would help us help you more.\n///

It could be your CD, go to My Computer, right click on CDDVD Drive Letter then down to properties. If CD is ok it will show free space. If no good will show full. Then if CD is ok it is probably your drive. They do not last long.

There is a program called rockxp, if you downlaod it and install it it should tell you your cd key if that doesnt work id download a windows validation program that rsets your cd key and you can make a new one .

Try adding double quote characters around the entire path. i.e.: path to 'my directory' from the C drive = "C:&#92;my directory&#92;"\n\nnote the quotes!

1) Make sure your Windows CD is in the drive.\n\n2) From a DOS prompt, type the following line...\n\nsfc /scannow\n\nFor more info and options on the sfc command, you may type...\n\nsfc /?\n\nNOTE: sfc is not necessarily available with all versions of Windows, and I don't have Win98SE here for testing. However this command is always my first troublshooting recourse before running Setup and doing a re-install.

Try with a normal Data CD first(not a CDR). A pressed CD is much more accurate than a CDR and will be easier for the drive to read (most of the time). If it does read then you may wish to try and clean the dive using a CD/DVD cleaner. You may be lucky. if it doesn't read you may want to check those cables again and then use the cleaner but you are unlikely to have much luck if it's not  a silly thing with the cables. Dont bother trying to get it fixed or generally fiddling about just get another from any one of the millions of Retail outlets such as Dabs and Aria ..etctec\n\nIve been repairing comps for 20 years and CD drives are too awkward and too cheap to fiddle with ...John
