Heloow ;D

I have a cdrw in which I have written data in multimodesession i.e. Whenever I get file I append it in its last written track

When I read it using the cdrom drive I get only the data that I have first written and not the latest files . Then after I keep on reloading the cd I get the files but not complete list of files

:-[

So please help mee

When you read it in the CD-ROM do you see only the first session or all sessions but the last?

If you see the first session only it is probably a limitation of your CD-ROM drive... how old is your drive? I can read multisession CDs in the CD-ROM that came with my Pentium 166...

If you see all sessions but the last, then your CD burning software is not "finalizing" the session after it writes it, only after it begins writing the next track. Or something like that, I'm not too clear on exactly how that works. There should be a "finalize session" option in your CD burning software that should be activated. What software do you use?

Good luck,
