I don't use Nero, but are you sure that's not UDF?  There 
doesn't seem to be much associated with Nero and UDC.  UDC 
could be Universal Database Converter, UDF is Universal Disk 
Format.

If Nero is like Adaptec/Roxio, you can't add more data to a 
disk if it's had a record session permanently "closed out". 
With Roxio I think a multi-session disk is drag-to-disk, which 
can be "ejected" with the option to add more data later, or 
ejected and closed out so no more data can be read.  Are you 
sure the CD's you received were closed out so more data could 
be written to them?

There's also the possibility that Nero and other burning 
software may not be compatible.  If the CD's were recorded 
using Roxio, Sony, or other, they may not be able to be seen 
properly by Nero.  Again, I don't use Nero so I don't know for 
sure.

You don't say if this is CDR or CDRW media.  One thing I do 
know for sure; you cannot delete something from a CD-***R**** 
disk and reclaim the space as you can on a HD or floppy. 
That's only possible with RW media.

You can also try to see if you can do anything with them using 
XP's Native burning software.

I've had some interesting experiences trying to burn CDs with 
Nero 6.

1. I tried to add data to multisession CDs that I received. In 
some cases I
received an error message that the disk was UDC, so I could not 
add data.
What is UDC and why can’t I add data to UDC disks?

2. I tried to add data to a multisession disk, but Nero said 
that it would
not fit. I removed some data but received the same message. The 
third time I
tried, after removing a lot of the data, Nero said that the 
previous data
would not be readable under Windows. I tried to see it in a 
command window -
no joy.

How can I view and copy the previous data? Is there a way to 
make it
readable under Windows?
