Cannot Play Back

I've checked out this camcorder to record one presentation. The recoridng went successfully. I saw the time moves on while recording. But when I tried to play it on the camcorder, it says "it cannot play back. Initialize only using the camcorder". And when I connect it to the computer, the error message says that the disk cannot be read. Any solutions to restore the file?
