Nero 7 discs read in Nero 6

Just noticed this wonder if anyone else has:

I have a number of multi session DVD-R's created in XP using Nero 6.
Each disc has between 5 - 12 sessions on each.

Use the discs in Vista & burn a session to each disc using Nero 7.
In Vista, all sessions are viewable in Nero.

Go back to XP in Nero 6, it cannot read the session burned by v7, & can no
longer read all previous sessions on the disc.

All files viewable & able to be copied in Winows Explorer in XP, so I just
burned new discs in XP & Nero 6.

This is most probably due to an older DVD drive that cannot view
multisesssion discs rather than anything to do with Nero. It's a hardware
issue. I cannot view multisession discs on an older DVD-ROM drive that I
have in one of my machines.

Maybe I should have mentioned that this is on the same machine, a Vaio
laptop.
It ran XP where the dvd's were initially created.
Then "upgraded" to Vista using a clean install where the dvd's were added to
in Nero 7.
It was then upgraded back to XP where a Acronis image was restored & I
noticed the problem yesterday when I 1st went to add a session to the discs.

One disc I can understand maybe a bad burn, but both discs?
I use quality discs & can't remember the last time I had a bad burn.
and all files are viewable, executeable & able to be drag & dropped in
Explorer.

Most likely Nero 7 changed something with multi-session burning. Never
assume older versions of a program can read the newer's output.

Something in the help files would have been good then, or a warning when
Nero 1st detected that it was adding a nth session to a multi session disc
created with an earlier version.
But, v7 took away the abiity for me to read the v6 created sessions also.
It isn't just a case of not being able to read the v7 created session in v6.
