My boss just gave me a CD-RW that he "formatted". He says you should never
burn to a cd but should format them instead and copy files to the cd. The
files on this cd are readable, changeable, and can be saved with any changes
but it does not look like anything was "burned" to the CD-no makings on the
back of the cd. If I try to "burn" files to this formatted cd it will not
give me an option to "burn" (the usual files are ready to copy in your
taskbar). When you open the cd a program called Direct CD tells me I can use
this cd to write and read files. If I copy a file to this cd again, it does
not overwrite the original but makes a copy of the file. Has anyone ever
heard of this way of formatting a cd and copying files to it instead of
burning?
