yes you can. bit tricky, but I've done it a thousand times. You send it to me in an envelope, with 50 $, and I'll erase it for you, and send it back within 3 days. \n\nPS: when you get your CD back, don't worry bout the dead parrot that comes with it. the parrot is essential for the erasing process.\n\nPS2: you get 30% off for +50 Cd's...

yo cannot do that, because the system files, cache files, and most of the other files are constantly being chnged, updated, and overwritten, the cd cannpt be changed once it is written so it won't work, nice thought though. \nwhat you can do, is when you first get your system set up, is to burn a disk image of your system onto a cd or dvd, or an image file on another HD, or even a large flash drive, create the restore disk and then just run the restore program, and direct it to the image file, and then you will get your system back pristine. Symantec ghost will handle that for you

A CD rom has data burned onto it in a permanent fashion. A flash pen can be erased over and over. here is a good link explaining the actual mechanics.\n\nhttp://www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/flash_memory.html\n\nKar

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.

The easiest is to start by just sticking the disc in the cd rom.  Windows will automatically bring up options for the programs you have installed in your computer to burn to that disc.  Use that program that you choose to do the job.  If you make a mistake and chose the wrong program, eject it and push it back in and it will give you the options again. \n\nRemember, if it is CD-RW you can record or write to that disc over and over, if it is CD-R you can write to that disc once.  If you mess up the recording you have to trash the CD-R.  With the CD-RW you can try again.

Unfortunately, if you was not using a DVD ReWritable Disc, your DVD is junk and it won't work and you need to try another disc, however, if it is a rewriteable (DVD +RW), you can format it with your disc burning utility and start over. I don't think its at all possible to continue the burning session.

Only if the disc is rewritable.

Only if it's a rewritable cd.  Otherwise no.  If's it's a cd-rw (rewritable), then windows can clear it for you.

Just burn it as a data cd. It should be fine you should be able to re-install it from the disk you make. Also put a word file with the serial if it required a serial # to install a full version on the cd as well. Thanks

You can't really just copy the os or certain programs to disks... you can either make a whole hard drive backup using a program like Norton Ghost, or reinstall everything. To erase all of you info permanently, (assuming you're on windows) click on the start menu and click run. Then type in cmd and press enter, and it should give you a black window with white writing. Type in "format c: /u" to completely and permanently erase everything. DO NOT try this until everything's backed up and you are completely sure you don't need anything on that computer.

Go into DOS and type in C:&#92;format\n\nIt'll ask if you're sure, and you say yes.\n\nHD manufacturers have a small program you can download to write 0s over the entire drive, ensuring that no data can be recovered - run that program after formatting off of a floppy disk, and it should be totally erased.\n\nAlternatively, there are a TON of programs that offer to completely erase hard drives - I have no experience with those, however.\n\nGood luck!

If you are using windows XP, you can drag and drop (or copy from and to).. using windows explorer.\n\nIf not, try deepburner. It's freeware to burn CD.

A CD-R cannot be formatted. It is a "write once read many" media which comes preformatted and data can only be added to it but never deleted. In order to delete/format you will require a CDRW which uses a different technology altogether. try using a CDRW and it should work fine.\n\nYou can still use your CD-Rs for backing up your data. Just don't try formatting... simply burn it using the burner software that you have.

Take care that undelete programs made for DOS a few years ago won't work with Win XP or NTFS partitions... So if you're thinking of undeleting on a new computer, your chances are slim without a professional tool :-(
