problem with finalizing cds in Nero

[rock.freak667]

well today when burning some files in Nero, I selected to start multi-session disc and made sure that finalize cd was not selected but after burning the cd and putting it back into the pc..surely enough, the cd was finalized....and only like 57.8MD of space was used and the rest was wasted.....Does nero give this problem with anyone else or is this a problem with my pc/burners ?

I've never used multi-session myself. I find it is easier to use RW discs when you need to keep adding files.

Regardless, what did you use to check the disc? Have you tried burning more data to the disc?

From the log above, the disc does not appear to be finalized.

the cd reads as having 0MB free space...and in nero when trying to add more data files, it says to insert a cd with free space or when using the windows burning one...it says the same thing
