Oh good Lord, no!! nothing like that...All that happens when you burn to CD
is that everything changes to a read only file...when you transfer it back,
it's exactly the same as you  saved. You will be able to open the files,
re-install any programs..etc..etc.. but if , for example, you open a .jpg in
your image editing software and make changes to it, when you come to save it
again, you won't be able to unless you have either done what I mentioned in
the earlier mail or you save it as a different name.
