DAO\TAO can be used on CDRW just like on CDR. I do it all the time. And I have never had a CDRW that my computer reads, nor read on another computer. I like the CDRW because I do not always need to keep the data, I can erase it and then I can use the disc over and over and over and over and over....... Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "T.

A method of writing files to a CD that involves no formatting, little overhead and leaves the files accessible just as if they were on a harddrive. This is the way most commercial CD's are written, like the ones you get with a printer or other device. Most burning programs are very simple. You just select the files to be burned to CD, tell the program whether you want to be able to add files later and click 'Burn'.
