I had a data cd that i saved a few documents, emails on and my email addys and
favorites for about 2 yrs. Now when i load the cd, it's blank! I have the
things on the 'puter so i can put 'em back on.
I have an LCD monitor and i put the cd back in the case and set it a few inches
away...is the a small magnetic force that eventually wipes the cd?
I save them to the cd...would it be better if I burned them on instead or it
doesn't matter?

Hi Terry,
It is by far better to "burn" data on a CD and make sure the disc is
finalized. Using things like Nero's INCD and other methods leave you
open to all sorts of problems like this. Might not be a matter of the
disk erasing itself as the files were never really written to it in the
first place. Windows delayed write is infamous for this.
