Where did the files I burned to a DVD-RW go?

I used the built-in file burning function in Windows 7 to burn a set of .rar archives to a DVD-RW. It finished burning and ejected the disc. I put it back in and the drive shows a disk with 305 MB of 4.37 GB free so the files got written. When I browse to the DVD it doesn't show any files. Where did they go and how do I get to them?

try to read the dvd under another OS (try linux)... maybe the dvd or the rar archives are damaged.

or try another burner (cdburnerxp.se free and small app)
