Right. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Toast doesn't see anything
on the disk either. But now I'm thinking maybe all these utilities are
correct and the disk really is empty. I suspect that the 90% completion I saw was the Finder creating a burn folder (I was too distraught to pay
much attention at the time.) The actual burn may never have happened.
It's hard to tell looking at the CD itself whether those lines in the
center are new or are part of its original state.

And here I thought this stuff always happened to somebody else.

Try reading the disk with a Linux system if you've got access to one. A few weeks back the hard drive in my daughter's MacBook died. I pulled it out of the computer and put it into an external enclosure. Nothing I did on my Mac could even see it. Not Disk Utility, not Disk Warrior, not Apple's diagnostic disk, not command line utilities. I mentioned this to a friend who just recently became a Linux user. We connected the drive to his Linux box and boom! It showed up immediately. I was able to copy all of the data off of it before I got her a new HD.
