Retrieving Backed up files

[Guest]

My computer Tech line just recently directed me to do an entire destructive
format of my system to remove what appeared to be a virus problem. Ihave
done that and have reload the system and it seems clean now. I have my most
recent backed up disks of important files I needed to save and my previous
backed of disk from my old windows ME system I needed to save from when I
bought this new system (which has WinXP). The computer will not read any of
these disks/files. It acts as if the cds are all blank. I know when I need
to reload my windows ME files when I bought this system orignally, someone
gave me a tip of a drive to download which allowed these disks to be
readable/useable (make the files show up on them)

Does anyone have any ideas what I need to do to retrieve the files off these
disks.

THanks!!!

Did you use a 3rd Party CD-Burning Software App? Sometimes these things
don't finalize the disks, so only PC's with the software that wrote the cd's
can read the cd's. Try re-installing your cd-burining app from the orig cd
and then try reading the CD's from Windows or the App.
