I think the issue here is you cannot open a file that's on read-only media like a CD. Your backups are safe, you just have to copy them over to a hard drive or some other form of writable media to be able to open them with FTM.
Anyway, I know you're working now and glad you're working now. I just thought I'd write this to make you less nervous about the usability of the backups you've been making.
