Easy multi-session CD-Rs in Jaguar Desktop
There was an excellent hint on July 18th about creating multi-session CD-Rs in OSX10.1. In Jaguar, however, when I attempted to do a second burn on a CD, it wouldn't work. I got the message 'The disk does not allow more burns. Please insert a different disk.'

I don't recall the 'Burn Image' window in the Disk Copy program in 10.1, but in Jaguar there is a small blue arrow in the top right corner which, when clicked on, further expands the window. Open this window and then check the 'Allow additional burns' option. This needs to be checked if you want to append any further sessions to a CD-R.

[Editor's note: You'll see this dialog when you use File -> Burn Image.. menu item after selecting the image to burn. It is not (as far as I can tell) available in the Finder when doing normal burns.]

It's in Disk Copy, not Disk Utility
Authored by: Curlywee on Oct 10, '02 06:58:19PM

The reference in the Hint to Disk Utility really threw me for a while, until I tried Disk Copy instead. Sure enough, that's where the blue arrow and the 'Allow additional burns' option are hidden away. This is a really cool find, and (taken in conjunction with 'Erase CD/DVD-RW Disc') further adds to the stature of Disk Copy as an improving utility.

It's not in either

I looked both in Disk Utility and Disk Copy and found no traces of the elusive little blue arrow; where is it hiding?
PS - I did verify I was in 10.2.1 to make sure I wasn't having a blonde moment :)

(Oops) It is in Disk Copy! If you go back to the original hint in July you'll see that you need to make a blank DMG (cmd-N). After adding the files you want to burn, you then unmount the DMG and select 'burn image'(cmd-B) from disk copy. Choose the dmg from the drop-down 'Burn Image' window. After clicking on the 'burn' button you will be soon presented with another window (Burn disc). This is the one with the little blue arrow.

Note; For this hint to work I'm fairly sure that you need to burn the CD using a dmg from the very first session. If the first burn is intially done from the finder and then you later try to append a session with a DMG it won't work.

CD Session Burner X

Or just pay $5 and get the shareware CD Session Burner X which automates the process.

I fixed the original article; sorry about the problem (all mine, due to an editing error).
