I need to know what type of CDs are write and write only CDs. I need them
for my class. I want to add aome file to CD and after I do that next week I
want to add some more files to that same CD, but I should not be able to
change the first files that I added last week. I do not want to write and
rewrite CDs which are CD-RW. I want to know what is Write and Write only CDs
are and where can I buy them. Please let me know ASAP because I am already
two weeks late in adding stuff to the CD.
 
Hi, don't let the words 'write and rewrite' scare you. You don't need to
worry about that. I suppose you have cd rw dirive. It is ok to use the cd
'CD-RW', it doesn't mean it is gonna erase other file(s) you have on that cd.
They are not going anywhere until you erase them. Just think of 'CD-RW' as
floppy disk. You can add and add until cd runs out of memory.

I only want write and write only CD. My teacher want only write and write
only cd. He don't want it to edit it. I only want to keep adding stuff until
it gets full and not be able to edit it. What are they?
 
far as I know, I've never seen write and write only cd. If the teacher is
talking about CD-R, CD+R or CD+-R, I thought once you can only wite once on
them. Go to the stores and ask the employees about CD+R or CD+-R. Anyway,
CD+-RW does all the same functions. I'll check online about this.

I something that i can keep writing on until it is full, but i should not be
able to edit it when i wish. That is what he ment by writr and write only.
I have to keep adding stuff to the CD for the semester and give it to him at
the end of the semester. When I went to the store they gave me CD-RW that
could be erased when I want to, but the teacher do not want us to have that
option. And thank you for looking, I really appreciate that.
 
You can add more data to a CD + R til it is full! It will work and the data
cannot be erased from it.
 
You welcome! Most stores you can just buy 1 of these, in a case, make sure
it's a CD + R and nothing else!!
 
Hey I looked for the CD+r and I cannot find it in any stores around here, but
i might be able to get DVD+R. Would that work the same? I have a DVD
writter or can you please tell me where can i find CD+R plz.

Just use a CD-R, or +R and in the software you use to write to the CD
set it up as a multi-session CD. This will allow you to fill it up over
time with no editing capabilities.

You want a CD-R disk. But... you can't buy a disk that prevents you from
writing over a previous file. You just have to be careful not to do that
unless you want to. A file on a CD-R disk can't be removed but if you place
another file with the same name on the disk it will not remove the first
file but your computer will only "see" the new file. You can't regain space
used by files that are replaced by another same named file. The only way
you can protect the files on a CD-R from being overwritten is to finalize
the disk which prevents any further writing to that disk.

Lets say you have a large 1MB file named good.doc. You put it on a CD-R.
The next day you modify/edit the original file on your hard drive. Then you
place it on your CD-R. You will only "see" the new version of that good.doc
file when you use the CD-R but the first file version is still using up
space because it's not a CD-RW (re-writable) disk. If you did this about
700 times you would have used all the available space on your CD-R disk but
you still would only see the latest 1MB copy of good.doc. The 699 old
versions are still there but are not referenced for viewing. Perhaps with
3rd party software you could view the older versions but that is beyond this
discussion.

Someone discussed a CD+R disk but I've never seen one. AFAIK for CDs there
are only CD-R (which is a recordable disk that can't be re-used) and CD-RW
(which is a recordable disk on which data can be removed and that space
re-used).

The +R listing (I think) only refers to DVDs. There are DVD-R and DVD+R
disks as well as RAM and other types. We even now have doublesided DVDs and
Blu-Ray and......

No, there are no such things as CD+R and CD-R. You are perhaps thinking of
writable DVDs, which come as either +R or -R.

There are only two kinds of writable CDs--CDR and CDRW.
 
A standard CD is referred to as a CD-R. A standard rewriteable CD is
referred to as a CD-RW.

It's not until you get into DVD's that the + - become important.

Just don't close the session, if you do it will finish the cd and you will
not be able to add more to it

I'll bet instructor is fishing for you to use a regular cd and check to
"allow multisession" (add additioal files later) option. Then, when you
wish to, you add files w/o erasing earlier ones. HTH, s
 
"What types of CD is write and Write only"

There is no such thing.
Write-only would mean you cannot READ it.

There are two types of CD :

CD-R - which is writable, and can be ADDED to (a few times) but not erased or changed.

CD-RW - which is writable and eraseable, and can be added to, erased, and changed many times.

Q.
 
Your right, there are just cd - R not what I said before, about the one with
the plus, I am getting those confused with dvd's, with the +.

But yes you can continue to put your data to a cd, it will not fill up
unless you use the total room of 750 mb, right away. As I burn my photo's to
my cd's all the time and usually get plenty of pictures on them. If you
write more data to the file that is burned to the cd however it does not
rewrite the older file, if there is more information, it will just add the
extra data to that file.

Yes there are two types, CD - R,(this one you cannot erase the data from)
and CD -RW (these which the data can be erased and reused). I have both! I
perfer the CD - R as then the data is always burned to the cd and cannot be
removed.

As for DVD's they come in DVD - R, DVD + R and DVD - RW (this one you can
erase and re use over again). DVD hold more files on it, on mine I believe
it's about 4.5 GB, there are others other there that write on both side and I
believe can go as high as 8 GB's
