ReWritable CD Selective deletion

Hello,

I use the Verbatim CD ReWritable 700 MB (8x-10x).

Suppose i have 5 folders copied on it. Is there any way that i can erase ONLY one folder (so as to replace it, say with an updated version of its) ? Without having to wipe off ALL the contents (5 folders) of the CD.
If it is of any relevance i use Nero 5.

Thank you,
Star-Com.

You can either format the CD-RW and use it just like a hard drive, or you can use Nero to burn the CD as a multisession CD, then you can make changes till the CD is full, then you have to erase.

Nero comes with a tool called InCD. If it's not installed yet, install it and it will run in the background and allow you direct access to the CD.
Then you can format the CD. It'll take about a minute, and thereafter you can access it like a hard drive.
