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

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.

why don't you just buy more of that brand.

And yea Ill probably do that whenever I get to walmart.
