Hi there;

I burned a ton of stuff onto a CD, and now it won't allow me to resave
it - it says "no room on CD". When I try to delete something to make
room it says "read only cannot delete".

Any software to help?

Thanks. You guys are wonderful.
 
hi ,

i guess you stand in front of basics about read-and-write digital media
:-)

if you closed the disc you only can reformat it and burn it again .

No, you cannot delete files from a cd-r, however if you had a cd-rw you would be
able to delete files off it.

All files on a CDR are *always* read only. You can't delete from one
either, only from CD-RW and CD-RW discs are less than reliable.

It won't allow me to "move" or copy them either, why?
