Any help would be great.

Running Win XP Home with all current updates, 500+MB of RAM. Old HD
motor quit so I installed new HD reinstalled all software and went to
grab CD of backed up information. Just a simple data burn of the
documents and settings folder along with some word docs. When I insert
CD it says 650MB used all my files are there to see, but I cannot open
anything. The CD is closed. Have theses files been encrypted by the
"keep my files private feature" available when you first start XP? How
do I get these files to open? I have tried other disks, burn or factory
all work fine.

Thanks in Advance

Do you get a message when you try to open the files?
Can you copy a file fromthe CD to the local hard disk drive?
 
Document name or path not valid check file permissions.

is the error and i can look through all the files just cant copy or cut

Thanks for any help
