Windows Explorer shows incorrect ZIP-disk file structure.

Dear People. Would you please help me with my problem.
I have two zip-disks. Once, I was using one of them. I pressed the button to eject
it, put it away then inserted the second disk. But the real directory structure of
the second disk was not shown in the Windows Explorer, instead there was the reflection
of the file structure of the first disk. I inserted the first Zip disk again, ejected
it thorogh the "Properties" command, then put the second disk back, changed its label,
but nothing worked. I even read my second-"broken" zip-disk on the different computer,
but the file structure of the first disk remained, instead of the real one. How can
I retrive my information.
With appreciation Leo

Did you have a file open from the first disk when you ejected it?
Your second disk is corrupted now, and you won't get back what you think is the
"real directory structure."

May be I had one of the files open. But does this mean, that ANY time when file from
the Zip-disk is not closed when this Zip is ejected and another one inserted, the
file structure of the first zip would be imprinted on the second with the destruction
of the directory listing of the latter one? Is this an ultimate zip-corruption procedure.
There are many firms who restore deleted information in more complicated cases.
I did not overwrite anything on my corrputed disk. Is this really not possible to
restore the disk?
