CD-R/CD-RW are for data, video and/or audio. As far as I know there is NO
difference in CDs that determines WHAT you can put on them - mostly because
in the end - everything is nothing more than DATA.

Whoever told you that CD-R cds are for "music" needs to share what they are
smoking with the rest of the world, because it's got to be some great stuff!

Again - there is NO DIFFERENCE in the CD-R's labeled for audio and the CD-Rs
labeled for data other than MAYBE the Audio are 74 minutes (650MB). There
may be some "quality" difference someone else would like to point out - but
the data is on there and will work as it would on any other CD-R - perfectly
fine. AND you want your recovery programs on a media that cannot be
erased.. Only destroyed.

Having said that - I don't know how you can remake the CDs - contact your
computer manufacturer, they can tell you. But I still think it would be
foolish to put your recovery data on CD-RWs(and there is no need if the CDs
were made successfully once already.)

You could make an exact copy of the first CDs you made using third party
software if you like. Then you could have more than one copy lying around.
