Burning CDs questions

[Ken Knecht]

I want to write several files to the same CD every day, and be
able to read the CD on XP and 98SE. Either CR-R or RW ok. I've
tried to do this both directly with XP and with Nero 5.5 but if I
get the CD to read on 98 I have to finish it in Nero, then I
can't refresh the files.

Anyone know if this is possible?

If not, anyone know of a good tutorial that will help me?

TIA

Ken

that's true, you have to finalize it to read it w/ explorer. Nero itself
can read the un-finalized CD tho, and it _MAY_ permit you to copy the file
from the CD to the hard disk using drag-and-drop from the cd pane to the
file browser pane. try it.

Anyone know if this is possible?

what you want to use is InCD, Nero's "packet writting" software. It is a
seperate install off the Nero CD. {FWIW, The EZ-CD Creator equivilant is
called DirectCD}.

Be sure you have the latest update installed on the XP machine, there was
an update that made it work ok on XP. go here for the 5.5.1056 update:

I _THINK_ (but not 100% sure) you should be able to move the disks between
the two systems w/o problem, as long as each system has the same exact
version of the InCD sw installed.
