[SOLVED] Can you write/rewrite a CD-ROM?

[joshua123033]

If I have a blank CD-ROM, and I wrote some information on it, can I rewrite information on it even though it is CD-ROM?
What if I have a CD-ROM already pre-installed with information, can I write information to that?

There are rewritable CD,'s and write once CD's.
Only if you have a rewritable.

Also, if you write some data to a CD, but do not "finalize it", it might be possible to write some more info to it. But you can't erase and write all new, unless it is a rewritable.

If it is already prewritten with data, you almost certainly cannot write more to it.

Kind of in the name if you think about it.

There are a series of these, appear to be homework questions.

CD-ROM? No. The part after the dash tells you what it can do.

ROM: Read Only Memory
R: Recordable
RW: ReWritable

Actually if recording session wasn't closed and there's enough space left, you can add to content. It's case just for home recording, factory CDs are mostly printed so no changes are possible.

I'm absolutely positive that this question (and the other questions I have in this "series") are not my homework. Trust me.

Given the nature of the questions there is no other explanation than these are a series of "Please do my homework for me". If, in fact, this isn't homework, then perhaps you need to spend some more time formulating the question/s so as not to look like school work.
