dd copies only first 9.3mb of ~40mb CD


Greetings!

I have a data CD made as 2 sessions (an incremental backup of my server), and, like the first time I wrote to the CD, I used dd to make an image, then md5sum to make a digest.

After burning the second session, however, dd is only reading the first session -- 9.3mb. There should be nearly 40mb of data between the 2 sessions.

Does anyone know a way to make dd read both sessions to the same image file?
