What's the program/file supposed to be? Is it music, a film, a game, an application?

How did you get it off the CD in the first place? Just copy the DAT file over, or did you use some other program to extract it?

Bit more info required...

.DAT files is typically a collection of compressed data, used for storage rather than as a useful app file
