new to CD-RW world, have questions
Hi, I'm running Nero burning software on
the Cd-RW drive I just bought. Someone told me to use CD-R discs if I don't want anyone to be able to rewrite a disc I burned. So I got a CD-R disc and burned it. Just out of curiosity, I wanted to see what would happen if I tried to re-burn it. The burning software apparently didn't know it was a CD-R. It tried to reburn it again, hung, and corrupted the disc. Is this "normal" behavior for burning software? dos-man |
This is not normal behavior. If you write to a CDR you can either leave the disk open (not finalized) so you can add another session, or close (finalize) the CD so that nothing else can be written to it. I suspect the the CD was left open and when you tried to add another session the directory was corrupted. Dos-Man wrote: Hi, I'm running Nero burning software on the Cd-RW drive I just bought.
