I need some help. I am trying to set up an autorun CD-R with a couple of files (phone and photo directories) to open via a menu click, and then distribute these to members of my church, with the plan to get them back when the next edition is ready in a couple of months, so I can "reburn" the updated files onto the same CD-R's (sort of a recycle/reuse plan to reduce cost). I have no problems with the initial burn using Adaptec Easy CD Creator: CD-R's autorun (I'm using a freeware product called CDStarter that has an ini editor for the autorun), but I have not been able to get the CD-R to "reburn" with updated files. For whatever reason, when I reinsert a "burned" CD-R into the CDBurner, it opens it ready to write files and if I then eject it, it does NOT ask me how I want the CD closed, ie, permanently closed, readable/reopenable, left opened. It asked me those questions on the first burn, and I always chose closed to be readable on any CD reader, and be reopenable.

I need someone to tell me how to do what I am trying to do.

By the way, I believe this should work for several cycles because one set of files is only about 80 MB, so there is a lot of room left on the CD after the initial burn.

HELP!! Joe 20060504

The only way is to burn multisession, then add to the CD when required.

However, they won't play in people's computers unless they all have multisession patches installed.

In other words, forget it and just use a new CDR when the time comes.
