Can you burn something to a disk that is already installed?
We can burn a disk when it is an re-writable disk even though it has data in it.But when it is an ordinary disk i.e., if it is an only writable disk with data in it,we cannot burn the disk with another data.
What is an optical disks?
an optical disk which stores data optically
What is the meaning of Optical Disk Drives?
use a laser to read and write data. Optical disks have very large storage capacity but they are not fast as hard disks. There are three basic types of optical disks: CD-ROM, WORM and erasable. DVD-ROM is higher- capacity disc
Are there Virus that can affect an optical disk storage?
optical disk storage are read only so they cannot get infected. But if you burn files which are infected by viruses then the optical disks can spread the virus
What are the limitations of optical disk?
(a)- it is a read-only storage medium. Data once recorded, cannot be erased, and hence the optical disk cannot be reused. (b)- thd data access speed for optical disk is slower than magnetic disks; (c)- optical disk require a more complicated drive mechanism that magnetic disk.
Can you burn CD's on a laptop?
Buy an optical external disk drive.
How do you add data to a DVD-R disk?

Why optical laser disk is preferred over hard disk for storage?
Applications where re-writeable optical laser disk would be preferred over hard disks for storage are: While storing the data in large amount, the optical disk are more preferred as, for storing the videos, photographs and various types of the images. This optical laser disk are used for transferring the information or data from one computer to another so we can easily modify or re-write the data at any time as, this disk are more convenient than hard disk. The optical laser disk are also helpful for distributing the software to the customers or users by using its large storing capacity features, as compared to hard disks.
Is a disk drive a optical storage?
No. A disk drive can use one of several methods of storing data, including magnetic, Flash, and optical.
