Hello,

Just formated my computer and saved a lot of my work on rewritable cds (mainly fireworks image files and mp3s). I'm having problems re-reading/opening some of the disks. Some work fine and others just don't register at all. It won't even open up to look at the files. I put it in and it spins round for a while (seems to slow up the computer) and then nothing happens. When i try to open it up by going into my computer, it just does the same thing and sometimes crashes my computer (my computer not responding....with end now button). Could anybody offer any suggestions on how to get at the data. Have also tryed it on my laptop and it does a similar thing (gives some sort of message about tfswctrl.exe not responding) Its really important work thats taken me a long time to complete.

Anyone any ideas

Many thanks in advance

Bad burns/discs. As has been mentioned here many times re-writables are the wrong choice for saving any valuable data.

Maybe this app can help.

It's worth saying again. Do not use CDRW discs if you value the stuff you want to put on them. Stick to CDR's
