Hello and here is my ? I have a CD-RW with some files on it but far from full. When I copied new files to the same disc, all prior files were removed and only the new ones showed up. Can't you add files until full like on a floppy? Hopefully yes and you can tell me what I am doing wrong.

If the disk is almost full or is not a multisession disk, the software may ask you something like 'I need to erase the disc in order to burn the new files'.

If you click without reading the message you delete all files.

About multisession CDs (the only way to continue burning on the same CD, because by default a CD is always CLOSED = no more data burn is allowed) read here:

On your question about the making a CD-RW into like a huge floopy. You can just download the software InCD by Nero (or DirectCD by Roxio but I personally don't like Roxio). This lets you format the CD-RW into UDF format to drag and drop files, delete files on the CD through My Computer or whatever. But, be carefull if you format the disc into UDF it can only be read by a PC that has the InCD plugin. You can change the CD-RW back to regular format by just erasing the CD-RW.

When adding files you need to CONTINUE an existing cd . (you add the files to it). Otherwise you will only end up with the files you have just burned to the cd.

I suggest you to AVOID all software that makes youe PC del CD-RW like floppies. Often that stuff confilct with other applications' drivers.

Do not say I didn't warn you...

thank you one & all. No, I am not doing anything with floppy, only mentioned it in that I knew I could add files to it, why not a CD. I have now learned I finalized it, treating it like "finish" & I should not have. So, I learned something big, thank you, I will try all again.
