Hi there
I have Nero 5 (detailed above). I can burn CD's (both CD-R and CDRW), but with the hiccup that all files remain 'read-only' why is this? Also the the CD shows all space used when I have only a word document on it, how is that? I have read the information on the help menu, printed the whole help manual that came with the CD but to no avail. How can I release the potential on my CD's and re-write documents, databases etc.
At the moment I have to transfer the document or whatever to my hard-drive and then take off the read only option and then use the multi-session to transfer back, surely to goodness there is a better way than this. I use ECDC at work and have to say unless I can get this thing to work I am going to uninstall it and go and buy ECDC instead.
Please can someone put me out of my misery, I have wasted a lot of time on this abd getting thoroughly demoralised!!

a) read-only documents after copied from CD-ROM to HD

This is a known 'bug' of Windows. Since CD-ROM cannot be deleted, all files have 'read-only' attribute. If you copy them to the Hard Drive, they remain 'read-only' and you must change this property by opening Explorer, right-click on the file, choose 'Properties' and uncheck the 'read-only' checkbox in the 'attributes' section of the Properties window.

b) CD-ROM is full after a single small file has been burned

By default the CD-R is 'closed' after burning. Therefore you cannot add more files and it seems that all space has been occupied. If you want to add more files you have to do the following:

1) the first time you burn some file in the disk you have choose, in Nero's burn options: 'Start a Multisession disc'
2) any next burning you have to choose 'Continue Multisession disc'

any more 'session' will waste 30 MB disc space so there is a limit you can repeat this trick. Once you close ('Finalize') the CD you cannot add any more sessions.

Thanks for that, but the point is that Easy CD Creator doesn't do this, so why does Nero? Isn't the whole point of burning a CD to make use of it as a large floppy disk? Is there any way round this?

Probably EZCD does this due to the optional software it installs (Direct CD).

Nero has a similar software (InCD) that behaves the same way.

I dont' make use of this software because it sometimes produce conflict among the Drives and the drawbacks are more severe than the advantages. I prefere use CD as CDs and floppies as floppies.
