Subject:      NVC-PDF data disc crash and possbile recovery
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

NVC.  Wondering if anyone has any advice on how to recover some data(4gigs)
on a DVD disk I have.  It has a bunch of PDF docs on it and I was copying
some files and all good...but when I re-inserted the disc in my PC, the auto
play does not work and when I open MY Computer, I can see that I have 900 mb
avail on disc, but when I open it I get nothing.   This happened last year
on another PC and I had to take to computer tech store and pay $30 to have
the data pulled.  I would like to know why this is happening and how to fix
this disk.  I think I will be using a flash drive from now on, but no
guarantees that it will work.  I regularly add files to this disk to keep my
laptop clean and I occasionally need to go back and pull a file or two off
the disk.  Thanks for any help.
