256807 2004-07-30 07:02:00 Hi,
when I add more data to CDR/RW that already has some data on it, then look at it in Windows Explorer, the new data does not show up until I reboot the machine.

Is this normal? Can you do anything to make it show up without having to reboot?

Thanks,
Aaron

Get something like CD Creator or INCD part of Nero. Much easier to use.

Refresh "My Comuter"

Long way BUT could work
Disable the cd drive via device Manager and then Inable it agen?

256810 2004-08-11 01:38:00 Thanks, that seems to work some of the time. Appears to work if I don't have Windows Explorer open before I burn the new data - somehow it seemed to cache the TOC and even if I ejected the CD and refreshed it would recognise the CD and use the old TOC. If Win Explorer is opened only after I burn the new data it mostly seems to work.

Fingers crossed.

BTW, am using NTI CD burner software (not XP - am running win98)
