I use Windows Photo Gallery to store and fix my photos. Early last year I backed up all my photos on CD using the "burn" option in Photo Gallery. A couple months later my hard drive crashed and I was thrilled that I had backed up all those photos. Problem. I'm trying to import them from CD into Photo Gallery again and it can't read them. When I put in a disk it looks like there is nothing on it. However, it shows there is only 300 mb of space left on it. It is a 700 mb CD. If you turn it over, you can see that something was burned onto about 2/3 of it.
Autorun is how I originally tried to import these, but since that didn't work I went to PHoto Gallery to try to do it that way. But when I use the import option it only allows me to import from a camera or scanner. I went to Options to change the option to CD/DVD rather than Camera/scanner. I click OK (there is no apply option), but when I got back to import I only get the camer/scanner option.
What am I doing wrong, and why can't I get my photos off my CD's? If I've lost these thousands of photos forever, I'll be crushed.
BTW, I use Carbonite now so I have another backup. Lesson learned!
