CD-R stands for Compact Disc-Recordable and can be recorded only once. You may continue to add files until the CD is full as long as the disc is not closed (write-protected). You cannot delete, rename, rearrange, or alter the files or file structure on the CD after recording. CD-RW stands for Compact Disc-Rewritable. It allows you to record the disc and then erase the entire disc and start over. You cannot select certain files to delete; you must erase the entire disc.

To backup to a CD-RW, you must have packet writing software (DirectCD, InCD, etc.) installed. You will need to format your CD with this software. This will provide a drive letter for you to use as the destination for the backup job. EZBack-it-up has no built-in support for CD-R's. However, you can still use it to create an archive that you can then use with your CD burning software. See similar questions...

CD-R means "Compact Disc Recordable." It's a "write-once" media, which means the data (music) can't be overwritten, erased or reused (rerecorded). A completed or "finalized" CD-R can be played in virtually any standard CD player. CD-RW or "Compact Disc Rewritable," can be erased and rewritten (recorded) many times. The only drawback is a CD-RW won't playback in all CD players...the players must be CD-RW compatible. See similar questions...

CD-R is a short form of "CD-Recordable", meaning recordable CD. In the past, users could only read the data on a CD-ROM. If users wanted to record data onto a CD, they had to ask assistance from a factory and do so in large quantities. With CD-R however, individuals can save data on a CD and produce a format that is exactly the same as that of a standard CD-ROM. See similar questions...

See the KB Article Q317277. After installing SP1 when you try and switch identities in Outlook Express it reloads the default identity. See similar questions...

Just as CD-R was the nail in the coffin of the cassette, many industry insiders are predicting that DVD-RW will be the death of VHS. A DVD-RW is a disc which can be used over and over again and like a MiniDisc it shifts recordings to optimise the time left on the disc. You can therefore use it like you would a video cassette, or there is DVD-R discs which like a CD-R can only be used once. See similar questions...

First, remember that a CD-R, CD-RW, or any of the various forms of writable DVD is not a general purpose random access storage device and needs software to begin to pretend to be. Such software is referred to as "packet writing" software and includes things like DirectCD or Drag-to-Disc from Easy Media (Coaster) Creator by Roxio and InCD from Nero. See similar questions...
