batching files

I am having a problem copying files to a cdrw disc on windows xp. I can batch
the first group of files, but then when I go back to add more to the same
disc at a later time windows continues to tell me that the disc is full when
I know it is not. I can put the disc on a computer running windows 98 and
read it and it shows lots of empty space but in windows xp it continues to
show that I can add no more files.

You need something called 'packet writing' if you want to treat a CD as
a large floppy.

I would think you installed something to achieve this in W98 which you
haven't installed in XP.

software includes that or where I might be able to download that on my
