Multisession DVDs: how do I get Windows XP to read them?

[Turkish]

Bah, my first DVDR experience ended up painful. I was backing up some data for formatting and I somehow burned them with Multisession enabled. After I formatted and reinstalled Windows XP Pro, I realized my computer won't read the damn DVDR It actually does read it and shows the index of DVDr but I can't execute or copy anything from it. Am I out of luck?

bump.

you know I've seen the warning before so I've never done it
but is this the drive used that burned it ?
maybe you can use the burning software and see if it's closed
or maybe you can try making an iso copy of the cd
maybe you'd have better luck with that

hmmm actually that's a good idea. maybe i'll can close the DVDR (that means no multisession, right?) and then I may view it. btw, its the same drive. thanks
