I'm held hostage again

   Well, I have many important photos saved on writable CD's.
I took the photos, I bought the Gateway computer, I bought the blank CD's, but now when I try to view or save to my CD's, I get a warning that the CD's are expired.  (?)
 
printscreen attached:
 
So I can't even use these CD's now?

never heard that before cd's having exp. date.

maybe the disc is full.
