CD Problems

Posted by Kaz on March 2, 2006, 4:54 p.m.

I have a cd that is completly full, I want to get rid of some of the useless stuff. The problem is that all the files are read only so I cant delete them. Ive read that I need a cd authoring/editing program, can someone recommend one?

From CNet-

Quote:
You can format all CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R, and DVD±RW disks. You must use a program, should probably be included with your Cd authoring software

On the cd it says recordable.

Yes, you can <b><i>Format them</i></b> but not get rid of specific files for that you need CD-RW

Ummm crap, and its the only cd I have that works on my ME.

The only way is to format the cd-rw, if you used a CD-R you're doomed.

I remember my dad and I tested the bruner burning one crap music file into the cd, well, we needed to throw the cd.
