AISBackup will eject CD’s if it does not think it is part of the backup, i.e. the CD name is not recognised. AISBackup will also eject CD's it cannot read, and XP cannot read CD's created with a packet writing system without a third party software solution (one of which is free
).
Here are a couple of solutions, the first will get your files restored as long as you can read the contents of the CD. Please note that if you cannot read any of the zip files on the CD under Windows XP none of these solutions will work.
If the backup was made using a packet writing system (INCD or DirectCD etc) you must install the same under Windows XP. Note that old versions of this software do not work on Windows XP you must purchase an upgrade. An alternative is to download a free UDF reader, which can read CD’s created with a packet writing system. See UDF Volume Reader towards the end of this page

If possible, in future use the AISBackup integrated CD writer as this created CD’s that can be read on virtually any CD-ROM, even under DOS.
Solution 1: Converting the backup to a disk based backup.
Copy the contents of the CD or CDs to a folder on disk (e.g. G:\Temp)
Create a new script (job) and use the
Base on this script (job) option, choose the CD backup script (job). Click
Next.
Choose
A Hard Drive for the destination.
Next.
Enter a name and select any one of the disk based backup files as the destination. On this PC I moved a CD based backup to G:\Test, the Backup Destination now reads: G:\Test\Source CDM.zip. Click
Next
If there was a password re-enter the same password, and choose Encrypt if the password was encrypted. Click
Next
Click No to Do you want to review…
Click
OK (not Run)
Choose the menu item
Manage Backup / Import Backup Contents File, locate the <script>.bdb file from the disk based backup destination.
Solution 2, correcting the CD name.
If the CD name changed AISBackup will eject the CD. If the CD name changed you can correct this as follows:
1/ Load the Script.
2/
Manage Backup / Validate (Test) Backup
3/ Un-check
test read.... (makes the job quicker)
4/

The backup is now ready for restore.
Which version of AISBackup are you using?
