Not enough detail. From the cuff: You probably created a coaster. Something went wrong when you copied the CD and the folder in question is corrupted.

What command did you use to copy? If you were using Windows Explorer and got that error, the the CD-R copy is not right.

Try a copy from the command prompt and see if it works from there.

Are both the source and the destination NTFS? If the source is NTFS and the destination is FAT, then that may be a problem too. You might want to retest the cd-r on the computer you created it from.... see if it's readable.
