170658 2003-08-26 04:47:00 Stone the crows what have I done?

I burnt half a dozen little utility programmes to a CD-R Disk using Nero and all was well.

Then I just burnt a driver folder and all my little utilities have disappeared?

Now, I can see session 1,2,3,4,5,6 with NERO, but Explorer can no longer see all my little utilities. I suspect the indexing has gone kaput, as the total used space looks about right and this of course is not a re-write disk so I doubt they've been deleated.
What have I done? And, more importantly, can I retrieve the situation?

170660 2003-08-26 05:45:00 Possibly update to the latest firmware on your drive/s. That solved the problem for me when my writer & cd-rom weren't reading multisession cds. PoWa (203)
170661 2003-08-26 10:08:00 Hmmmm, looks like the disk is normal.

Just been reading about Multi Mounter in Nero.

Seems its normal for Windows Explorer not to show all the files.

170662 2003-08-26 11:22:00 Only if when you continued your Multi-Session Disc, you didnt load the previous session! Or, if you "deleted" the files from the CD.
They're still there, as they cant be deleted from a CD-R, only the references to where on the CD to find them are no longer included with this Session.

Hope that makes sense

Cheers


Chill.

170663 2003-08-26 22:36:00 This is all new to me Chill as you’ve no doubt already worked out.

However, broadly speaking, when I burned my last driver I somehow corrupted the index system. (Probably exactly as you explained)

Question is: How do I resurrect the index system so Windows Explorer can see all the utilities?
