    This question may be been asked before, sorry for asking again.
    How can I copy some of data files to a CD, then left the CD open so I can copy more data into the same CD later on ?

    For example, today I copy about 100 MB data to it, take out the CD and copy the data to the other PC. Week later, I like to copy another 150 MB data to the same CD.

    What s/w do I need ????

    Thanks you guy/gal.

    Depending on your software there should be an option somwhere to make a multisession disc which means you'll be able to add files at at later date.

    He can only do that if he's made a multisession disc that hasn't been finalized after the initial burn.

    Sorry,

    I find that when I do data discs w/Nero I can add things to them without doing anything special to the settings, I was kind of surprised it works. Maybe it's a Nero thing

    Could be. I haven't used Nero for much besides burning DVDs :)
