A writable disk is a disk in which you can write (ie., store) data onto. The majority of diskettes are writable, and so are blank CDs and DVDs. Computer hard drives are generally writable as well.
I cannot imagine that they would as commercially prerecorded CDs are not writable.
Low cost Re-writable
3/4 of a gigabyte is the capacity of a standard writable CD.
no
its either a re-writable disk or its not!
It has to be a DVD-RW or DVD+RW. R means Writable, RW means Re-Writable.
This is the process of writing information to a writable, or re-writable CD. Normal, commercially produced CDs cannot be changed because they are mechanically pressed with indentaions on a metal foil. CDs that can be written to, use a different technology to hold the information. The material held inside the clear plastic disk, can have its molecular structure changed, by shining a high power laser at it. This shining of a high power laser, conjured up visons of Sci-Fi films where the baddy was burning things and people, with lasers. There is no actual 'burning' involved, but the mental image remains and is used to descibe the process of writing information to the disk. Some disks can only have their structure altered once, these are write once, or recordable cds, designated CD-R. Others can have the structure repeatedly altered, so the information can be erased or changed. These are Re-Writable CDs, designated CD-RW.
CD-RW (Compact Disk Re-Writable)
BD-R and BD-RE
If you just have a DVD ROM (Read Only Memory) there is no way to convert it to writable or re-writable (no method reasonable without re engining the hardware from scratch). You need to buy a new DVD RW drive. Good news is that these are very inexpensive now.
