Thank you, Clint.
I no longer have the CDs, and I wrote the message from memory. It may well
be UDF instead of UDC.
I wasn't aware that Nero may not be compatible with other burning software.
I thought a burned disk was a burned disk. I'm surprised that this is the
case.
I do not recall getting a message that the recording session was "closed
out." As I recall, Nero simply said that it was a UD*(something...) CD.
I hope to continue working with these people in the future. What
instructions or recommendations should I give them so that I will be assured
of being able to add data to their disks in the future?
Do I understand that XP's native burning software can be more successful or
stronger than Nero?
About the second part of my question - is there a way to read data on my
computer when it is not readable under Windows?
