DVD Writer Won't Read It's Own Discs!

Just bought a Samsung DVD writer....external. Nero software came with it.

Using Win ME, which is listed as OK for the drive.

Ran it as a muiltisession disc (otherwise, how else do I add data later?). Recorded two separate recording sessions (of data....that's all I need to record.....data.)

(Using drag & drop means I have to uninstall my CD writing software (the Nero pops up such a message. I don't want to lose that software, though.)

The Samsung DVD writer won't read any of the stuff I've written with it!

In Windows Explorer, it shows the disc as completely empty!




Also......

My PC's internal DVD (reader) sees only the first session, not the second.

At least it sees something!


Can anyone help, please......I need to write to DVD in (for example) a few dozen separate sessions until it's full. I need to read any of the data copied to the disc, at any time.
