Fair enough for a CD or DVD, but there is reason to panic when a USB
stick is involved and all the data on it is lost. I fell into the same
trap some time ago, and since then I try to remember to refrain from
renaming USB sticks under RISC OS 5.16, since that ruins them
completely. That is the most serious RISC OS bug I have seen for a
long time.
