I know that RWs are rewritable, and I normally format them and use them as
large floppys to keep temporary stuff, or accumulate enough to burn on to a
CD-R or DVD-R. What I am curious about, but have never seen discussed is: Is
it pussible to use an UNformatted CD/DVD-RW as a conventional CD/DVD-R, then
erase or delete the entire disk when the stored data is no longer needed, or
are they only useful and practical as packet-writing (formatted) media? I
realize they are invariably slower than Rs, but the erasable quality, if
available, would make up for this.
Thanks for any help.
