I am told that I should be getting a prompt to whether or not I want to close out the disk. Can someone give me a quick how to on XP cd burning?

See http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.htm
It is *not* a true CD-RW drag to the CD burning, but stashes up files in
batches to burn as complete sessions. Once such a disk has been ejected
it should be possible to put it back to see the existing files on it
plus the next batch that is queued to await burning
