As I've stated in some of my recent posts, for the past four years I have had one packet-writing software installed on my PC: Adaptec's Direct CD v3.01 (corresponding to UDF 1.03).

If I were to install Nero's latest InCD4 packet-writer without uninstalling my DirectCD v3.01, will I likely encounter conflicts and a sudden inability to packet-write onto and have access to my CD-RW discs containing my previously stored files? Or do you suppose that I won't experience any odd or frustrating issues?

Thanks.

You will very likely encounter conflicts. Before installing InCD, uninstall DirectCD first. And before using InCD on DirectCD-written discs, create some test disk and see if InCD can handle DirectCD discs correctly.

Here's a link to a thread at cdfreaks that will give you all the information you need about directcd/incd.
