I burnt a large .ace file onto a Memorex CDR and now I can't copy it off or read it.
WinAce stops responding and both my original CDROM and my CD Writer do the same thing... I try and copy the file to my desktop and it goes until theres around 2 seconds left, then it jumps up to 20 seconds left, 40 seconds left, etc... until the drive just says that it cannot read the device. They can read video files off of CDRs just fine though.
Also, when I put a CDR into the drive my computer freezes.

WinME, 2 ghz Pentium 3, 120GB hard drive, 128mb RAM.

Can anyone help me in any way? I' be happy if I could at least get part of the file.
