Dean,

I'm afraid Aaron is incorrect. In OS X, you cannot use CDRW's like floppies (at least, not without third-party software).

If you select "Mac Help" from the "Help" menu in the Finder (which I recommend you do when you have questions like this) and search for "rewriteable cd", you will find the following information:

About erasing a CD-RW or DVD-RW disc

Before you can reuse a CD-RW or DVD-RW disc, you must erase it. You can use Disk Utility to erase CD-RW and DVD-RW discs. To learn more about erasing discs with Disk Utility, open Disk Utility, in the /Applications/Utilities folder, and choose Help>Disk Utility Help.

So, after yesterday's long discussion about writing data to a CDRW.  I did so, hit the burn command and did, in fact,  get data transfered.  I think Aaron suggested the disk could be used like a big floppy, adding and deleting data at will. I just inserted same disk, tried to write more data to it, and got message that the disk could not be altered ...

Please Explain ..

Dean
