    Pray you have a backup. 

    Bundle files aren't the safest method of storing projects. How big is the file? 

    Try copying the bundle file to a new file and then try to open the new file.

    If you did all the suggestions and they did not work
    your SOL ($heet out of luck).

    Bundles get corrupted easy and when corrupted, you cant open it. 
    This is why you should be using CWP and per project folders and you shoudl have at lkeast 3 copies of every project kept on 3 diifferent hard drives. It takes an extra 30 seconds to do a save as onto another hard drive.

    The only  thing you can do is to re-record it, since you have no back-ups

    Ditto above advice. 
    You might try opening them with the version of Sonar you created them with and then re-saving as CWP. I'm not sure how far back CWP go but I used them in 2008 I tink. 
    Nor sure if Bunble files contain the Audio cause you could at least fish that out and import them to a fresh project.
