Data CDs -adding data

Can you add additional data to a data CD ??

I created a photo CD using Roxio Creator Classic.
I tried adding another photo later.

After burning the CD, only the single photo I added later is visible, the other photo folder I burnt earlier has disappeared.

Is this something to do with creating a multisession disc ??

When I dragged the single photo to the CD destination, I noticed the original folder also appeared, thought I made mistake, that it was going to burn the original folder again, deleted it, leaving only the extra photo.

    The missing folder is still there. I recall you can read it in a burner (rather than a reader only) device. In Roxio there might be a way to view other sessions. The disc/folder has not been over written as mentioned above.

    I dont bother with multisession discs as they are cheap, and also there is a trade off in storage capacity, being you "lose" about 10Mb per write session (due to overheads). I save up 700Mb worth of data then write to disc.

    That statement doesn't make any sense.

    They are the same discs, it's the way you use it that makes a disc multisession.

    As discs are cheap - only pennies each, they don't bother with the hassle of multi-session.
