it may have overwritten the data. if the pictures were ever on the harddrive try getting a file restore utility, it is a long shot but occasionally it works.

I burned the pictures in an Internet cafe so they went directly from my camera to the CD itself :-(. I forgot to mention earlier that when I look at the properties of the cdrom it says that it has a disc size of 300MB while it is a 700MB cdrom, so I am sure that the older pictures are still there somewhere..:-S.

You need to make sure your burning software (and CD-R) supports "multisession."

Yes, indeed he is correct. I know Nero prompts.

Problem is I've never had it happen to me before that it changed the name of the disc :S. As I said the data is there, I just need a way to access it. This product might be able to recover your pictures. They have a free trial copy. I doubt that the free copy will actually do anything, but it doesn't hurt to try. Is it worth $40 (the purchase price) to get your pictures back? You also could Google "cd-rom data recovery" to find similar products.

Yeah, I have been searching myself as well. The cheapest I found so far is 19,95, so that's doable. I'll wait for a while though to see if anyone else comes up with a different idea .

You can recover your lost session with Nero only. You don't need any additional software.

I will try to explain the procedure.
First you need to back up the second session (the one that you curently can see. Just copy it to your HDD)
Then you need to put your disc in a rewritable cd drive and run Nero. When asked by the wizard what you want to do chose: "new cd" -> "data cd" -> "continue existing data cd (multi session)". Then you will be prompted to pick wich session do you want to continue from, you have to pick the first one (where your first pictures were). Once you have done that you should see your old pictures in the tab that lists the files on the cd. You don't have to add anything else to the cd just hit burn and after you'r finished you should be able to access your old pics.
This will probably not work however if the cd is finalised or too full.

Yeah I usually use Nero but since I was in an internet cafe at the time I didnt have much choice in which program to use. Thanks again, case closed .
