Re: Adding to folder on cd

Try EZcd Creators Direct cd or Neros Incd. These programs can turn your
cd-rw into a giant floppy disk, so you can drag and drop how you like.

Use Windows Explorer under Accessories
You can "drag&drop" or "copy&paste" to a CD-RW

Thanks -

I called Sonic (my burn program) and they told me that I must format the
disks to get the drag and drop capability. Sure enough, it worked! Only
thing, it takes about 20 minutes to format a disk.

Does this sound right to you?

Yup, that's right. You have to format the cd for packet writing, which makes
it drag and drop. The older version of direct cd (ezcd creator) took that
long so I can see how other programs could take that long as well.

You are formatting the disk to "packet writing" ability so you can drag and
drop to it from Explorer or any program.
Packet writing has lots of problems. A better way (in my opinion) is to use
EZ CD or Nero to write to your CD. 2 improvements. 1- You don't have to
format the CD 2- EZ and Nero have an Explorer-like interface that allows
you to do the same thing as drag and drop. It just takes a little
experimenting to have what's already on the CD displayed so you can drag and
drop there. At least with EZ CD I found I had to place a file in the write
area before the existing contents would be displayed. Then I could add
things to pre-existing folders. Before I burned it I could delete that file
I placed just to see the CD contents.
