AI Thread Summary
Recovering data from a CD can be challenging, especially if the CD was not finalized or created on a different computer. If the CD is unreadable, it may be due to compatibility issues or improper closure during the burning process.

Further details about the CD's creation and the computer used may be necessary for more specific recovery advice.
