Ordinarily, if you stop recording then remove the drive withouot finalizing
the disc, you can simply re-insert the disc then press the finalize button
and off it goes. but in this case it fails.
I can tell simply by looking at the reflection off the transparent side
of the disc that it's been written on (slightly different shade where
it's been written), so there definitely is information on it.
I'll see if I can scare up the manual, though,... I hadn't thought
of that.
