The dye on a cdrw disc is darker than the dye on a normal cdr disc. This is because of how they are able to make them re-writable. The short of it is you get a drive that is capable of reading those disc's and you can use them like a normal cdr. I don't know how drives are nowadays, but a year ago the only way you could read them was through a cdrw drive itself.
Hope that helps.

My problem is that he put it on a CDRW disk (using windows) and my system does not even recognist that a disk is inserted. I know it can be read using something like easy CD creator in Windows but can it be done in Linux? Could anyone point me in the direction of a HOWTO etc. please.
