Take the disk to a diffrent computer. Other than that, run the disk diagnostic within your burning software.

nope.

its a newly burned dvd.

i burned all my pics and any home movies to it so that they wouldn't get lost if hard drive partioning got screwed up.

it did screw up......and the multisession dvd is unusable....i can see the folders but it kills explorer when i try to do more than look at the folders. nero did ask me if i wanted to "not use" multisession........ i'm a dope.

a little app called cd/dvd data recovery is now working its way through the stuff on the disc......slowly.

it is working.
