So, now in 2009, is there a CD that you can "add" files to without LOSING anything that's on the CD/DVD??

I liked the answer. its good as you said U tested by writing the discs in two different ways is good.

And from Ur answer I came to know why some of my discs show less size while having more data.

Thanks for Ur answer.

One of the easiest Programms to write CD's; DVD's and add further data etc I have found is Ashampoo 7. All the styles and setting are a simple to read and select .

If you want to re-write, ie. Add more files onto it, I'm pretty sure you need a CD-RW (CD Re-Writable) disk. Most CD/DVD burning programs will allow you to change the settings in order to be able to add further files.

Wrote data to cd. Put it back into computer and it tells me read only. I typed new data and it would not let me save to the cd. Why?

I make slide shows with roxio or irfanview. I would like to put more than 1 on a disc but cannot save them in a format that allows this. I can only put 1 on a disc burning from roxio or ifanview, is there a solution?

If a CD can be read by you, it can be read by anyone. Either you need to encrypt (so that you would have to go through an additional decryption step to use the data yourself), or I'm not understanding your question.

Nope. It's a write-once media. CD-Rs cannot be erased. (But if appropriate, they can be destroyed, of course :-)

I had a cd burned for me over in Iraq. All that it has on it is different airplanes. How do I erase the items? They are all jpg files but the note I get is: 213 items, 1472 is a read-only file. Then it asks if I want to delete it all, I say yes to all and it comes back with: Cannot delete 1472:Files on this CD-ROM drive are read-only. You cannot copy or move files over to this CD-ROM drive.

Is there a way to remove them?

I 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."

I was working at Microsoft at the time, and absolutely we had CD-R's. (Not RW, R)

"But I do have 20 year old CD-R's that still work. :-)"

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!

I 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!

Why doesn't my driver recognize the CD-R? I can burn a CD-RW with no problem.

I 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. :-)

A 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.

You are quite correct. Did I mention it's all confusing? :-) I've corrected the article. Thanks for catching that.

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?
