1. You could probably get someone to recover the files even if the drive isn't salvagable.
2. Maybe the C drive was overheating?
3. There's a third-party program designed to help you keep track of what-all is on your CDs and DVDs. I don't remember what it's called, but it basically looks just like Windows Explorer, except instead of little folders there are little CDs (or DVDs). We used to use it at work, some years back. You might ask around about it.
