as Homer sez
OH!
well, actually, BOTH! a CD-R AND a CD-RW - same problem either
disk....which begs the next question. HOW do you put something ON a CD-R
unless you can also W it? in othere words, if it says CD-R (assuming that
means "read", then what are you going to READ if it hasn't been WRITTEN to?
that is, it HAS to be writable in order to read anything from it...right? so
THIS may be a "duh" question, but how can a disk possibly be only R, and not
RW? i guess one would not read a book that had not been written - uh, maybe
i missed the first five minutes of the movie, or wasn't in school that day,
but something seems amiss here.
And anyway, the CD-R that i am trying to erase is marked
"something-something" (the title is irrelevant, but it's not for kids) in
magic marker, indicating (to me, anyway) that it is a COPY of something on
another disk, therefore it had to be written to....
