A CD-RW is re-writeable.

Once your burn a CD-R or a CD-RW, that's it.

Well, if it's a CD-RW, that's "not it", as she can still write to that CD-RW
again, right?

You can only copy the files to a hard drive.

At which point she could (if she wanted to) choose to reburn those "copied
to the HD files" to a CD-R or CD-RW, if she wanted. (But I think an
external HD enclosure is generally a better idea, and it's sure a LOT
faster. And I won't touch CD-RWs because they can be problematic - just
stick with CD-Rs, if ya need CDs).

Hi Shenan,
I just realised that my Cd's are not rewritable they are
CD-R. So could I get the information off the CD-R and save them on to
CD-RW
and do all my changes that way? I have DVD rom and a DVD rewritable
inbuilt
into hard drive. How can I make these changes to make my life easier.
Much
appreciated by your help.

Sharon

type in name and then it asks me to confirm file rename ( Are you
sure you want to rename the read only file? ). I click YES and then
it says Cannot rename. Files on this disc is read only. You can
still copy new files to this writable cd, which will replace files
already on disc! I no longer have photos just what is on disc. How
can I rename my photos?

You copy them off the CD, rename them, copy them back to the CD.

Even CD-RW's do not work like a floppy diskette/hard disk drive. They
are
still CDs.
