I've had it a while now but never realized that the files are read only after they arrive at the CD RW Drive. Never noticed it before until I wanted to delete a few files and find I have to erase the whole disc to do that. My system 'XP' for some reason won't let me look at the 'Change Attributes' help files( If I have any) this is what I get when I ask..... The page you are trying to view cannot be displayed. This may be because: If you are trying to view this content over the network, there may be network congestion or a problem with your connection. There might be an error in the page's address.

CDs are like that. :thumbs: I haven't used the "CDRW like a floppy" , but I suspect that files once written are there until the whole disk is wiped. The only way I can think of which might let you "delete" individual files would be if the system writes a new TOC (directory) with the filenames removed. Does Windows do that? Should it? Doubtless someone else who wasn't awake when you posted will correct me if I'm wrong. ;)	Graham L (2)
