HELP - New Burning ROM Question

[Ash]

Hi - I just bought a BusLinK 52x24x52 CDRW drive (probably AOpen since it says Justlink and JustSpeed on the box). It came with Nero Burning ROM Version 5.5.9.14

I tried to burn some files onto a Verbatim DataLifePlus Ultra Speed (16x-24x) CDRW Media. Everything went fine and I burnt some mp3s along with some data files onto the CDRW. I essentially filled the CDRW to capacity.

Once I was done, I accessed the CDRW and tried to erase some files, but it wouldn't let me do that, giving me an error message that the files were Read-Only and to check whether the disk was write protected. Any idea why it is doing that? I thought the whole idea of a CDRW was to be able to write, erase and re-write data.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Ash

Yeah it is. but you need to install another software for that not just nero. you need to install in-cd or nero's packet writing software which i can't recall at the moment. that lets you treat the cdrw as a floppy kinda.

I have InCD on my system. but didn't format the CD using InCD. But does that imply that I can't make any changes to the media, unless I formatted it using InCD? As in, I can't delete any files from the CDRW?

Thanks!

To put it plainly, no you cannot delete individual files from the disc the way it is right now.

Thanks for both your inputs!
