cdrw

Hi. I have a cd burner and i want to burn some cdrw but i dont have software to burn them. I use nero for my cdr.
I realy hate easy cd creator so can someone suggest a good software for burning, formating, etc... cdrw ?

You can do it with Nero. You have to "erase" the CD first, and then re-burn it. Burning it is the same with CD-Rs! All ya gotta do is just find the option that clears the old data off of CD-RWs, and it works perfectly. I've did it multiple times. Good luck!

i dont see the need for using any 3rd programs then.

pop in the cdrw, open up my computer, then the cdrw drive and then u can copy/paste/delete stuff there.

Someone told me that this takes up 200 MB of your CD-RW if you use this method. Anyone know anything about this? I've never did it before.

It does take up a bit more space (I've noticed I can't fit quite as much) but not 200 meg.

nero will do just fine. What you can do with a cd-rw depends on how the disk is formatted.
You can either use it like a regular cd-r, and erase it whenever you want to burn something else to it. Or you can format it so that you can add files at will without having to erase/burn the entire cd over again.

There are a couple of problems with the "drag&drop format, namely:
1. Although you will have no problem reading files off the cd using the computer that burned it, other computers may have to have the same burning software installed to read it. I ran across this a few months ago with easyCD creator.
2. In regard to this format taking >200MB of a disk's storage space, it works about the same as a HD. If all you do is add files, then they just get burned to the disk after the last used sector, but if you erase and burn enough you'll get empty spaces where there isn't enough room to place a new file. Although I've never lost anything close to 200MB, you can avoid it by periodically reformatting the disk and placing everything back on it.

I?m at work, so I don?t have nero in front of me but I?ve used it plenty of times in the past. Just keep looking through all the menu?s and you should find it.
