CD/RW drives, if using a program like Nero INCD can be used in a manner
similar to hard drives or a floppy in that one can drag and drop files to
them.. BUT you have to use CDRW discs really and they have to be formatted
for use in this way by the INCD program prior to use.. even then, if you
were to load a text file off the formatted cd into Wordpad, you could not
then edit the file and resave it back to the cd, because files on a cd are
essentially read only regardless of how they got there..
CDRW discs, once formatted, can be used for storage until they are full
(obviously).. at that point, the cd will need to be formatted before
anything else can be sent to it..
CD-R discs can't be reformatted.. once they have reached capacity, that is
it

I have a new computer and I have encountered difficulty in using the CD/RW
as a file for storage and retrieval as if it were a hard drive or floppy
disk.
If I use any of (1) DLA software (download from HP), (2) Nero and (3)
Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 and get the same error message, what does that
mean?
