DVD---R/RW; Files from last back up show up on New DVD disk
I just backed up 4 folders full of files to one 4.7GB DVD. When I put in a New DVD, to file new folders, the 4 folders from the first DVD show up, and I can open the files in them. What is Happening here? and how can I prevent this?
TIA,
Jess

after removing the DVD that you had written , can you go into my computer and still see anything ?
are you sure the DVD that you are inserting second is blank ?
can you test that in another computer ?

It should be blank, I can't test it no other DVD Drives available. AT minimum, it should not have the exact same files that I put on the first disk.

Are you sure your not actually accessing a temporary directory that your burning software may have used? May be a dumb question, but I had to ask :)

Where would that TEMP DIR be, I cut and pasted from an External Drive right to DVD?
ASKER
When I click on the Empty DVD-RW E: the files show up.
The temp directory depends on the software you are using to burn the files. Have you tried disconnecting the external drive and restarting your pc without it attached?

I refreshed with no DVD in the drive and I can still access the folders. Anyother ideas? the DVD is the E Drive.
