Greetings, I have purchased an installed a Hi-Val CDRW drive - model no. H2242 - using the software supplied which is Hi-Val CD Right! Plus 1.5
The hardware and software allow me to write a number of files to a CD in one session. Should I decide that I want to write more files in another session, I can do so. It worked OK to start with, using a disc that the Hi-val people included in the package. The only problem now is that I write to a new CD in one session. Then when I try another session, I either lose everything that I recorded in the first session, or the stuff in the second session doesn't make it.
I am using your standar CD-R CD-Roms and not a CD-RW disk and it may be that here is my error. I would like to be able to use the same CD in multisessions, and would prefer to use the CD-R CD's - they are cheaper for a start.
Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply. The program I am using is the HiVal CD writing program version 1.5 that came with the drive.
After a session I get asked to save an "Untitled CDROM file" to the hard drive. This I do.
The next session that I do I start the program up. I do not load the previous session that I have saved - that is the Utitled CDROM file that I previously saved. I try to copy files to the CD. I get a message that this has been successfully accomplished. When I try to read the CD from Explorer it either retains the earlier data with nothing more (that is what I mean when I say that the subsequent data has not made it) or it has absolutely nothing on it and the CDR drive does not recognise it for further writing.
I am probably doing something wrong, but I am not sure what.
Look forward to hearing from you. Judging by the useful advice that you give in these groups, we will find a solution

The specifics depend on your writing s/w, which you do not identify. In any event, you should import the previous session before writing a new one; that will keep you from 'losing' the first session. In fact, you can recover the information in the first session if you are using Easy CD Creator's Spin Doctor or an equivalent, or CD-R Diagnostic (linked from my CD-R site).
I don't know what 'doesn't make it' means, so cannot address that part of your question.
Mike
