Your boss is not correct when he says "you should never...." Direct CD uses
the UDF format to write to files. The reason you can't see any markings is
likely due to the disc being filled at least once and then erased. However
files were certainly burned to the disc. How else could they be saved there?
Programs like Direct CD might simplify the saving process but are not
without problems. One big problem has to do with these discs not being
readable in other computers unless they are finalized first or the other
system also has packet writing software or reader installed. Do a search on
Google for packet writing software.

My boss just gave me a CD-RW that he "formatted". He says you should
never
burn to a cd but should format them instead and copy files to the cd. The
files on this cd are readable, changeable, and can be saved with any
changes
but it does not look like anything was "burned" to the CD-no makings on
the
back of the cd. If I try to "burn" files to this formatted cd it will
not
give me an option to "burn" (the usual files are ready to copy in your
taskbar). When you open the cd a program called Direct CD tells me I can
use
this cd to write and read files. If I copy a file to this cd again, it
does
not overwrite the original but makes a copy of the file. Has anyone ever
heard of this way of formatting a cd and copying files to it instead of
burning?
