Well, the subject title says "Using CD-RW" which implies rewriteable CD media. So, you can erase the disk, rewrite the file back again, you just need to completely transfer all files to the hd, erase and then rewrite. However, I was not really referring to rewriting, I was saying that if you create a multi-session CD that has 200MB worth of files on it with the CD not finalized so that you can create additional sessions, some CD-ROM drives can not read the format. They are expecting a completed TOC that is only really created when you "finalize" the media after all sessions have been completed. Just an FYI for him to keep in mind in case he was planning on using the disk in the meantime. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
