Is this cd a rewriteable disk? Have you formatted or re-written to the disk?

I have a method which will get your data back, but because the CD has been formatted and file records erased you will lose your filenames so you will need to do a RAW scan for file signitures

First you need Winhex. With Winhex you create a file the size of your CD (650MB, 700MB etc) make sure this new file you create is filled with ZEROS, muct be a blank file. Call it whatever you want, the name makes no difference.

Now, you must open NERO and insert your formatted CD. Copy the 700MB blank file into NERO and burn. When status changes from LEAD IN to TRACK (usually about 6%) you must CANCEL STRAIGHT AWAY. When it has cancelled you can run RAW recovery tools on your CD such as Recover My Files, and will recover your data.

By writing the file to CD you have opened the session and only the first few % of the CD will have been written to, but the remaining 94% will appear to hold the file you wrote but nero didnt write there, so the original data you need is still physically there.

Maybe you need to practise this first on a different cd to get it right.

Hope it helps you
