problems with my DVD RW Disk!!?

Question

how can i retreive files from my dvd-rw when it wont appear but the total size of the CD is just about the files that i saved before? its not actually gone but it wont come out and i need the files... HELP!

oh and i think it happened bcause i canceled the browsing process when it was still reading.. then i tried all sorts of stuff but only a part would come out!:(
but when i left it for a fewdays it came back but then now its not working, not everything is coming out... all files are pictures and i dont have a back up copy for it.. so i need help.

thanks

thanks to both of you. ill try doing that...

Answer 1

Did u try it on another computer ???
Is it a multi-session DVD coz there are some problems with multi-session DVD's. if u dont know what is a multi-session DVD then it is when u write on the DVD more than one time and keep adding files on different periods.
if it works on different computer then the problem is with your DVD as it cant read this disk for the reason mentioned above. if it cant be read on another computer then the DVD is bad. good luck

Answer 2

does the disc scratch or dirty? try clean the disc.
check if the files burned is hidden ( windows explorer, tools, folder option, show hidden files&folder)
try to read the disc in another drive (some drive can read better than another)
