Re: "empty" disc undeer f11/f10

Hi all,

thanks for your advice. It seems that disc was indeed not finalized. I
wonder if there is a way to determine that (trying to burn such a disc
after thinking "wohoo found an empty one" surely would make things
worse).

Hi folks,

something strange happened today. I got an _important_ cd and simply
wanted to copy the data from it. My kernel thinks its empty ("this disc
doesn't ..."). But under Vista I can read the data. Is that some kind of
windows magic? Unfinished disc or stuff or did I encounter a bug?

Possible mulitsession disk that wasn't created properly. I have had
that happened in the past. Check to see how much blank space there is.
The session may not have been closed properly.
