I don't think this is possible. I suspect it's a problem with your
media. I had the same problem when burning files to some old cheap
DVDs. NERO said the burn completed successfully and I went ahead and
deleted the files from my hard drive. Needless to say, I'll never see
those files again. I tried burning the same compliation twice and it
worked on some of the DVDs. The others I just had to throw away.
Your DVD burner is what sends the data to Windows, so if the drive
can't read the disk, there's really no way to force it if the files
just aren't there.
