How do I open up a disk with Nero 5? I tried InCD but it kept asking for a
CDRW. I need the disk open so I can publish a web site do it, not exactly
drag and drop files like in the burning rom window.

I could always do this with Easy CD but for some reason I can't find how to
do it with Nero.
 
Howdy!

I can think of several ways.

1) Use a CD/RW and then, after you finalize it, copy it to the CD/R.

2) Publish to a temp directory, then copy THAT to the CD/R.

3) Publish to the target in the first place.

Uhm...

What do you mean by "open"? If you mean "to write more data onto" then
the disk must be a multi-session disk. Otherwise, you can't "open" it
again...no matter what program you want to use.

Well with DirectCD I could open a session and then simply open windows
explorer and drag and drop items to the disk or if I was running an app
I could just save directly to the disk. But with Nero all I can seem to
do is write to the disk through the software's explorer. It won't let
me simply open the disk and write to it through any other apps or
through windows explorer.
 
you did not install 'direct CD"

No I did a complete reinstall of my hard drive and added a new Lite-On
CDRW that came bundled with Nero 5 so I didn't see any need to reinstall
DirectCD. But now I'm thinking it might be a good idea, unless of
course I'm just not understanding how Nero works.
 
yes drag and drop is normally done with 'packet' writing and 'direct CD' (damn I hope thats right, In-CD is adapect.roxio?) is
nero's version. I haven't used that in a long time, as it never proved to be reliable.
 
DirectCD is Roxio, but I won't tell :-)

Really? I've never had any problems with it. Maybe I just got lucky...
but then again I never really used it for anything major... I just
thought it was a handy feature especially when I was forced to do
websites in FrontPage. Unfortunately In-CD only seems to work with
CDRW's but direct CD worked with CD-R's.

Right, I've used both IN-CD and DirectCD...InCD requires CDR/W disks
while Direct CD (Roxio's product) will take both.

With Nero............Open the Nero Burning Rom and use the wizard. The wizard
will ask you 1. What kind of medium?...choose cd. 2. How would you like to
continue?...choose Compile a New CD. 3. Choose format?....choose Data. 4.
Choose new or continue? Choose Continue. Then next it will tell you to insert
the cd that you wish to conitinue to write to.

IOW...it works just like Direct CD only it's not a packet writing software,
which is mostly more trouble than it's worth. I write to existing cd's all the
time with Nero. I would rather eat nails than to ever install Direct CD on a
computer of mine again.

Direct CD is the only packet writing software I, personally, have found that
will write in packets to CDRW or CDR.
As an aside, it seems to be the only one I have successfully been able to
use to back -up to file from within various apps.
While I agree with the implication that Roxio has a ways to go to catch up
with Nero or NTI, their packet writing app rocks!

Just my opinion,

Garry
