Illustrator files changed to text files

Hi guys. Not sure where this should be posted but since this is an illustrator issue I am putting it here. A few years ago when we began backing up data to CD's my coworker was the one doing the backups using Toast and an old Mitsubishi burner at the time. He did run the verify function also. Well a few times that I had to retrieve a file from way back including today I find the files have an icon with a big T indicating that it is a text file? Today I tried to open them with anything and popups said they were in an unknow format and could not be opened. Other times I actually had success in opening but when opened there was a whole page of jibberish in a text box.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Thise has not happened to very many of the files and since I have been doing all the backups for the last two years I have not hads any problems.
Just curious as to what changed the files to text files.
Bruce
