Clint, the client used CDR media, not CDRW, so there's no issue of deleting a file. I wanted to add data to a multisession CDR disk that had been saved under UDF. As far as the second issue, as I wrote previously I want to know whether I damaged the disk. I wrote, "I tried to add data to a multisession disk, but Nero said that it would not fit. I removed some data [apparently not enough] 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?"
