[DUG] FindFirst on a CD drive

Hi guys,

we have a program that copies files from a number of CDs to the hard 
drive and uses FindFirst recursively to see which files are available on 
the CD.

Once it's copied all the files from one CD it asks for the next CD and 
searches that disc for any files it can copy. This is where it seems to 
have a problem. On my machine (W2k) everything works fine, on another 
machine in the office (XP) it doesn't seem to find any files after the 
disc has been swapped for the next one.

Could this be Windows caching the CD contents? I tried refreshing 
Explorer to show the actual contents of the second CD (which it did) but 
the app still couldn't seem to find any files.

Any ideas what is going on?

Cheers,
Phil.
