Subject: [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.
