Help! with RD-RW discs!

[Alan K. Crandall]

Hi;

I have been using a CD-RW to store some data and image files.
A few weeks, ago, when I went to add files (I'm using Nero Express), I
accidentally screwed something up.
Instead of adding the new files to the old files, it overwrote the old files
in some way. The new files are on the disc, but the old files (to which the
new were supposed to have been added) have disappeared.

Does anyone have any idea how I can recover the old files?

Alan,

Providing you didn't erase your RW, the old files are there, but you forgot
to link the previous session when adding files.

You need a program that will allow you to select a previous session to
retrieve
the files. CDR Diagnostic or the like.
