I wrote the Excel files to the CD-RW, and they are read only, so I can't revise them. It's so frustrating. How can I just save the files to the CD so that I can put the disc in, work on it, and save it whenever I need to?

Windows can't save files to a CDRW disc like it can to a hard drive so here's what you can do.  Open the files, work on them, save them to your hard drive and then write over the files that you had on the CD, just use the same file name and Windows should write over the old files.  As far as I know that's the only way but I don't use CDRWs much except for HUGE files but most of the time I just use my 1GB flash drive.

If you have the Excel program on a CD then it's no prob. Without a CD it's simply impossible, period.\n\nOr do you mean you have the whole Excel installer task on your desk top, then it's possible of course.

Lend a DVD-ROM/driver from your friend and then use it to read the game C, and then put your own empty CD-R/RW to your own CD Writer. Just use Nero or... to help you the rest jobs, note, prepare more CD-Rs because of a DVD is larger capacity from a CD.

If it's not a re-writeable CD (CD-RW) you can't erase it. CD-Rs (the more common write once variety) are so cheap...why would you want to? Just use the old one as a coaster and start fresh with a new one.

You need to re-save the 97 files to an rtf file. Where it says 'save as' click on that. . . at the very bottom of the mini screen that pops up there will say something like 'save as type' . . . select the program that you will be opening it in. \n\nany more ?'s on this, feel free to email me, or message me and I can walk you thru it. good luck!

Use Nero and burn a data disc. If you do not have this program then simply select the files you want to burn then right click them and got to the sent to menu and select send to (whatever your cd writer is), A small information window should then pop up on the task bar. Click it(do not close it). The window that opens should then give the option to burn to a disc. I'm pretty sure it will burn them as mp3's and not audio cd files.

you may not have finalized the cd, in which you would have to finalize it for a non-writable cd-rom device to read the disk, go to a friends or someone that has a cd-rom writer drive and ask if they can see everthing, if so just burn a copy and this time tell the burner software to finalize

If you burn an iso onto a cd, you cant use the rest of the cd, even if its a small iso.  In order to put your own files onto it, you have to edit the iso file.  I use WinRAR to edit my iso files, and then save the new edited iso, then i burn it with nero.

You Need a CD Writer and CD Recordable/Rewritable, the you need to install the appropriate software (like Nero 5) so that you can copy the pictures to your CD... If Your CD Drive is not a CD Writer you cant copy a pictures to your CD Drive, you need to buy one...

You cannot use a blank CD the same way as your hard drive. IF you have XP, first drag and drop all the files you wish to "burn" to the CD. Then, on the left panel of your explorer window, locate "Tasks", and say "Burn these files to CD". If this does not work, go to www.download.com, download a free or shareware CD writing software, and figure out how to do it. Its quite easy.

You cannot modify any files that are on a CD, you need to save them to your Hard Drive and then you can save them after changing the original.

If you don't have CD writer & a blank rewritable CD with you, forget the rest of this.\n\nCopy content of your first CD in some folder in your computer.\nInsert blank CD in CD writer and start CD writer software.\nPoint CD writer Software to the content of the old CD.\nStart writing the CD and you are done.

I think you burned it wrong...\n\nWhat yuou did was drag and drop the files onto the cd using a program and "save it", (which is why they are only shortcuts)\nT\nhis has none of your actual dato on it! :(

As most of the others said, CD-R is used for one-time burning. You burn on it once and that's it. The data is there for good.\n\nCD-RW discs allow you to burn data onto it, but then you can later erase it and burn something new onto it.\n\nThey both burn the same, and work the same so your data will still be there on either one.\n\nThe only things you should watch out for, is CD-RW disks are more expensive, and they actually don't hold their data nearly as long as CD-R disks.\n\nDo not use CD-RW disks for archiving, you can't rely on them in the long term.  Use CD-R disks for that.\n\nCD-RW disks are very good for short-term burning.  Like if you have a bunch of files you want to take over to your friend's house.  You can burn them onto a CD-RW disk, take it to your friend's house, copy them to his PC, then take the disk back with you and re-use it.
