Well, if a CDRW isn't sealed the only thing in the whole world
that can read it is the CD-RW drive that wrote it.  You use a
Blanking instruction to clear it for use again.  Of course if it
is a CD-R, the multisession is a better approach than with CDRW.

And, yes, you can stay with iso9660.  linux does not treat a
CD-RW like a slow hard disk.

You can erase the CDRW and try again;
it is possible to have a non-UDF multisession CD.

However, I don't use xcdroast so I don't know how to do either from
there.

I think with gnome toaster you can rewrite cdr's give it a try. I ran it
under windowmaker.

[expert] CDRW multisession?

2000-04-22 Thread vern

I got xcdroast working, it writes CDR's okay,
but I need help making my CDRW's multisession.
I made my master recorded it, but it "fixated" it
instead of laying down the tracks for future use
it sealed the CDRW from any future use.  Now
can I erase the CDRW and try again??  Is there
any way to format a CDRW for future use?? I've
been to the xcdroast man page, README, and
the author's website.  Can any of this be done
without going to packet writing or UDF format??
All my windoze CDRW's are in UDF and I would
like to go to ISO 9660 for both OS's.
Thanks for reading this!
