I know that recordable DVDs have "+" and "-" versions, but I have never heard of such a thing for CDs. Are you sure you haven't gotten the DVD +/- issue confused with CDs?
Posted by: Ken at January 11, 2006 8:11 AMYou are quite correct. Did I mention it's all confusing? :-) I've corrected the article. Thanks for catching that.
Posted by: Leo A. Notenboom at January 11, 2006 4:57 PMA further point (I'm not sure if it should be a separate question) is the relative longevity of the two types - CD-R and CD-RW. Is one better than another? I save my photos to CD, and I can't wait to bundle up 700mb of photos before I create a CD. I hear conflicting advice on which to use for best archive.
Posted by: Andrew Denny at January 16, 2006 11:54 AMI prefer CD-R, but that's purely based on gut feel. Like you, I find lots of conflicting data. But I do have 20 year old CD-R's that still work. :-)
Posted by: Leo at January 16, 2006 9:45 PMWhy doesn't my driver recognize the CD-R? I can burn a CD-RW with no problem.
Posted by: Lenora at January 20, 2006 5:40 AMI think this question is inline with your topic - however, I'm writing files to CD-RW media to transfer to another system and want to delete the files afterwards. I tried that, but I get a message saying that the folders and file on the CD-ROM are Read Only and I can't delete. I'm just using Windows to delete, is there SW out there that will do what I need? Thanks!

Maybe I missed something, but is this a joke? You have CD-Rs from 1986? I suppose there were CD-Rs out there in some labs somewhere... maybe... but come on!
Posted by: Matt at January 25, 2006 1:31 PMI was working at Microsoft at the time, and absolutely we had CD-R's. (Not RW, R)
Posted by: Leo at January 25, 2006 1:38 PMI believe Microsoft may have had some early form of a WORM drive, but it wasn't a CD-R which is what your answer is refering to.
"The characteristics of a recordable CD were specified in the Orange Book II standard in 1990 and Philips was first to market with a CD-R product in mid-1993."
