Can I add more files to a CD?

Question

Lets say I burned two files on a CD-R (NOT RW). Is it possible to add more files to it next time?? Thanks!

Answer 1

Once its burned its burned you can't add more files to it but if you've got another CD and want to add more files to it you can overburn as follows:

Overburning a CD
First check whether your recorder can overburn or not. From the Recorder menu, choose the item Choose Recorder and select your recorder from the list. You will find information about whether the recorder supports overburning in the recorder information box.
Activate the overburn option within Nero. From the File menu, choose Preferences and then click on the Expert features tab.
Activate the checkbox which allows overburning and specify the maximum CD length. In theory you can choose any size up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. Initially you should enter a length 2 minutes longer than the specified capacity. If SCSI/ATAPI errors occur at the end of the simulation or burning process, we recommend that you reduce the maximum overburn capacity or use a different make of CD. If no errors occur, you can gradually increase the overburn capacity.

Click on OK to confirm the change and close the dialog box.
This setting will have the following effect on the burning process:

If the amount of data to be burnt is larger than the normal capacity of the blank CD, but less than the maximum overburn capacity, Nero will ask at the beginning of the burning process whether you really want to overburn. If you answer yes to this question, Nero will start the burning process. If you answer no, the burning process will be aborted because there is not enough space on the destination CD.

Answer 2

Technically, yes you can as long as you have not closed the session of the cd, but highly and I mean highly don't re command not to do it. Multi-session allows you to add more stuff in the cd with a cost of some space that keeps the record on the disk saying that there are more than one session and to look for it. However, don't do it. They are very unreliable and you ended up loosing your session, most of the time your previous sessions. Therefore, whatever you saved earlier your computer will not be able to find it or the most recent one, vice verse.

Answer 3

hi! there are 2 kinds of Cd's. one is the recordable. the other is re-writable (or CD-R). once you burn files in the first one, you can not add more. the second one is just like a diskette... you can add new files, but the files that are already there will be erased first. my advise is to move the files to another folder, add the files you intend to add. then, save all the files to the CD-R. CD-R is a little expensive than the normal CD. there you go :-)

Answer 4

On CDR - before you burn the cd, check the security of the cd and click "add more files later". But it might affect the files you earlier added to the cd. The best way to go is use a CDR-W.

Answer 5

specific to a undeniable element.... CDRs at the instant are not erasable media so whenever you upload some thing the CD it has to apply area to create the hot record itemizing to boot as area for the information themselves... finally you may run out of room on the CD and the equipment will inform you its finished even nonetheless in all you would be able to in basic terms have some information on it....its finished reason that area has been used to save the completed record series persistently...

Answer 6

no, you cant save another file on a
cd-r once you already burned it...

its capacity is 700mb, the same w/
cd-rw. so if you want to make use
of it efficielty, use almost all its capacity...
coz you cant erase the file on a cd-r anymore...

Answer 7

If you've finalized the CD...no, if it's a session burn...yes.

Answer 8

Fraid not, Vivian
Once its burned, they're fixed and you can't add any more tracks/files on them.

Answer 9

If the disc was not "finalized", then yes. If it was, then no.

Answer 10

No, once it's burned you can't......
