What is the difference between CD-R & CD-RW ?

Compact Disc Creation: CD Creation FAQs, UWEC
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. See similar questions...

What is a CD-R and CD-RW?

Superscope Technologies
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...

Can a CD-i player read CD-Recordable (CD-R) or CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs?

The New International CD-i Association
Unlike some DVD-Video players, every CD-i player can read CD-Recordable discs with compatible content (eg. CD-Audio, CD-i, Video-CD, Photo-CD, etc.). The player makes no difference between regular pressed discs and CD-Recordable discs, there is no need for any adaptation like on the PlayStation. Because CD-ReWritable was not yet available at the time most CD-i players were introduced, they cannot read CD-RW discs. See similar questions...

What is CD-R and CD-RW? What is the difference?

www.cdrnet.com.tw
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...

I have a CD-R or CD-RW installed but Windows XP thinks it's a regular CD ROM device. What now?

Windows XP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Each time Windows XP starts you are presented with a dialogue box that says "Windows Has Recovered From A Serious Error". This problem occurs because after a Minidump (or memory dump) file is written, the paging file continues to have a flag set that indicates that a memory dump file needs to be written. 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...

I was just starting to understand CD-R. Now what is DVD-R and DVD-RW?

Radfords - HiFi - Home Cinema - Custom Installation
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...

Subject: [1-1] What's CD-R? CD-RW?

CD-Recordable FAQ
CD-R is short for "CD-Recordable". Recordable CDs are WORM (Write Once, Read Multiple) media that work just like standard CDs. The advantage of CD-R over other types of optical media is that you can use the discs with a standard CD player. The disadvantage is that you can't reuse a disc. A related technology called CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) allows you to erase discs and reuse them, but the CD-RW media doesn't work in all players. CD-Rewritable drives are able to write both CD-R and CD-RW discs. See similar questions...
