Is this not possible in my system? It seems not. What you're doing is trying to create a second session. It seems that Winders, when you drag'n'drop, writes to the CDROM in a multi-session mode. It also appears that when you drag'n'drop under Kubuntu, the session that is created is _not_ a multi-session one. Hence the inability to add data. The above is all a bit of guess work on my part; I've never used Windows, and always create CDs through K3b, rather than the desktop because it gives me more control. > > Ah, good.

It's obviously just a difference in where Debian & Kububtu put the relevant programs. > I just put the whole section [External Programs] in. Understood. Just thought I'd mention it, "just in case". ------ Not only has does it seem that Windows would explicitly create multi-session CDs if a user "dragged and dropped" new files onto the disc, but in order to do this it would have had to make sure the CD had not been "finalised". Under K3B, one of the burning options is to "start a multisession disc" - and as long as you don't select the "finalise disc" option as well (which would be a bit daft as they should be pretty much mutually exclusive... sort of) then you should be able to write to the disc a second (and third, fourth, etc) time by selecting "continue multisession" on subsequent burn attempts. It's not quite as *ahem* "user friendly" as Window's assumption that all discs you create should be unfinalised, multisession capable discs that may not be readable by other drives... but then, we don't treat our users as idiots in Linuxland.
