Pictures are data.
Everything on your computer is data.
Everything on a CD is actually data.

If you have a CD writer and you know where the pictures are on your
computer, you can put in a new blank CD-R or CD-RW into your CD writer and
then copy the files to that driver like you would a floppy disk or to
another location on your computer. Then it should give you the option to
write those files to CD. Do this and you have a CD with your photos you put
on the computer now also on that CD.
 
not quite true, special software is required to use a re-writable disk in
the same way as a floppy or hard disk. otherwise you need to use nero or
another burning program to brn the pic files to a disk, re writable or cdr.

Never was asked about how to use it as a "re-writable" device.
So the information I gave should hold water for them.

To treat it more like a floppy/hard drive, yes - you would have to have 3rd
party software, but Windows XP can treat a CD-RW like a "write, format
fully, write, format fully" medium out of the box. For most people, this is
sufficient.
