Questions on Multisession CDs

Please read on in: Questions on ISO compilation.

Is is possible for the data carrier name only to contain small letters?

In short: Yes

However you have to activate Joliet and use the option ISO9660 designations for Joliet as well .

What characters are allowed for ISO 9660 CDs?

The following characters are allowed:

No files can be called up from the net

Can files with a set write protection attribute be burned

No and yes.

No because this can not be done with Nero , as the ISO9660 file system initiates this. There are programs which remove the write protection when copying files, e.g. WinCommander. On this, see: http://www.ghisler.com/

Yes, if you use PacketWriting Software, which means you can access CDs as you can floppies. To do this, however you need CD-RWs, a burner which can write on CD-RWs and PacketWriting Software such as, e.g. InCD.

Why are directory names you create yourself only allowed to be 8 characters long?

Please download a more up-to-date Nero version as long directory names are not supported until Nero 4.0.5.6. Long directory names can also only be entered if the option Joliet has been clicked on. With previous Nero versions you can help yourself by creating a directory in Windows Explorer and then drag this driectory over into the ISO compilation. This directoy can then be given any name you like.

How do you delete individual files / directories

Deleting files / directories directly from Nero is not possible as this only works when using the Packet Writing method. For this you need software which supports it such as, e.e.g InCD
