is this possible?! HOW? coz i want to re-use my CD... but i dunno how to delete the "video" files in it...
 
Yes, I don't think you can delete files on a CD-R...Not easily anyway....On a CD-RW You can write other the CD as much as you want :)
 
it is impossible to erase data on a cd-r , but yes you can use a cd-wr disk over and over.

after bout 1oo re-writes it will start to lose it's stability.
 
unless it is a DRAG TO DISK cd, made by Roxio Easy cd creator. then you can delete files on it , just like a hhd.
 
sorry but i have DRAG to DISK cd's ....and they are regular cd-r.

although i have re-write cd's, i use my drag to disk cd's to move files around....

they do work, but they must be formatted using the drag to disk method.
 
Drag to disk is correct.

Once a drag and drop is completed, try to delete the file off of the CD. It can't be done on a CD-R. Remember, he asked if he could delete a file off of a CD.

CD-R and CD-RW = drag and drop file writing.

CD-R = permanent

CD-RW = deletable

See where I am coming from?
