Computer wizards: Bambi and I need help.

Bambi has copied some additional pictures in a CD-R that already contained a lot of pics, using Adaptec Easy CD creator. However, she did not select to keep the existing files as well, with the result that the CD now only lists the new files.

I think it is not possible to actually erase burnt files in a CD-R (not a CD-RW), but I have no clue how to access the files we can't see anymore. Any birght ideas?

OK, it looks like a programme called IsoBuster does the trick!

The files were not erased. Rather, Bambi told the burner to start a new multisession CD instead of continuing an existing one, so Windows doesn't display them. However, all the info's there (it happened to me in the army once, I was very tired). The best way of seeing them is using any burning program, and you can extract them by ordering the burning program to save those files to disc, either as a CD image or as files, depending on the program you use. ISOBuster does the trick, I have no doubt Felicitous
