I did Nero in the past. My recommendation would be to avoid InCD. You can use rw CDs and DVDs but it's much more reliable to just write and finalize the disc at once as if it was a CDR.

iow, if you want to add some data to what's already on, copy to an empty folder, add the stuff you want added to the CD, to the empty folder. Do a quick erase of the CD in Imgburn. Use the folder as the root of a data CD using Imgburn.

Even with that I've found +rw discs not reliable. Even trying to read back on the same machine a few months later the thing may not read. I tried using them for backups and regretted it. Now I only use them for test burns. Like if I'm not sure a DVD will come out right, I'll burn on +rw, play in the stand-alone, then burn a DVDR if the erasable played on the stand-alone as it should.

I still have a couple of "big floppy" type erasable dics lying around I can't read with anything. Think of it as writing stuff on those magic slates where you lift the cover sheet and all your writing is gone!!

I'd get all the data onto something stable. It seems fine while it's working is all I can tell you. Maybe it's been improved(my last foray into Nero was 6 Ultimate) but the nature of it I trust less than 3 1/2" floppies.

edit: sorry for being preachy but I'm still pissed I lost some source code using the InCD thingy.

Glad you got your data though. That's the main thing. I had a USB key die on me. But I was lucky enough it gave me one last copy to HD before it expired. I got my files off.
