Sorry I didn't quite understand. I'm guessing that you have several folders with pictures in it burned onto the CD, however you only see one of those several folders?

Try going into the folder and press CTRL+A
See if there is a pop up saying something along the lines of...
"This folder contains ## of hidden files.... to view them.. etc.."

if it does, go to tools>folder options>view tab
and check "show hidden files or folders"

Thanks for the reply. You are right, I have probably 10 folders of pics burned to cd but only one is showing up. I tried ctrl + a but nothing happened. Is there any way to get my pics back?
Thanks

I'd say that the files have just been corrupted themselves, not the CD. It happens sometimes where you save/burn them and then they dont work.

Is there any way I can get these files back or are they lost forever?

I'd say that the files on the CD that arent working are lost for good. Hopefully you have them somewhere else.
