It does only have one write on it, so I don't know whether that is relevant. It was written by Nero 5 (can't remember which point revision).
I put it into a laptop with winme. The files are large bitmaps (7.2MB) and the read was painfully slow, but they did read. Civileme's understanding is the same as mine was. I wonder if that is because there was a limitation that has been overcome by later writer software or maybe even hardware? It certainly _was_ true. I remember a time when essential files were required during a rebuild. They had been written multisession by EZcdcreator, and they were unreadable until EZ had been reinstalled. This was a couple of years or so ago. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
