Formatting CD discs

[Guest]

Is is possible to format at CD disc the way you can format a floppy disc?

You'll need a CD-RW drive and use CD-RW CDs in order to have
the option to erase files. Regular CDs cannot be erased or reformatted.

You need to buy a piece of equipment affectionately called a lamp or a disc
eraser etc. You put the cd in and it fills it up with 0's so the files cannot
be accessed. IT CANNOT however be reused. To reuse a disc you need a CDRW
which can be erased at the touch of a button
