Hello all,

I am hoping that someone can HELP me out. I am trying to view some photos that I have saved to CD, HOWEVER I am getting an error message"the CD Rom drive is currently open. Does anybody know how I can fix this problem so I can view my photos?

Thanks,

Jim

I OS is Windows XP Home SP3Did you try the CD on another computer?Broni,

Yes I did. I get the same message. I know the disks work, because I have viewed them in the past.Well, if CD doesn't work on two computers, then there is something wrong with the CD.I have tried several of them..............at least 5. I can't believe they are all badThis may be because the CD's were not finalised when they were burned...
DLoad the FREE edition of IsoBuster which will ALLOW you to view/extract the files for burning over properly...These are the disks that were provided by the company that printed the pictures. I have viewed the disks several times.You have to realize, that CD don't last forever.
Are you sure about this message: the CD Rom drive is currently open, because I've never seen a message like this before.Broni,

Yes that is the message I am getting. As far as the disks not lasting forever.......I agree, however; these are only a few MONTHS oldTry some of these tools: http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/24/top-10-free-data-recovery-software/
