There are 2 main types of CDs: CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
* If the CD is a CD-RW (or CD+RW) then yes, you can wipe it and start again. To do this use any CD burning program: something like Nero would do fine. * CD-Rs are not erasable. However, if you originally created the disc with something like Nero, you may have been offered the option of "Starting a Multi-session disc" or something like that. If you chose that option, then you would be able to burn more files onto the CD until it is full, however you still would not be able to change or delete existing files.

When burning a CD why can't you burn again onto the CD?
A CD has a certain amount of memory and is blank until something is loaded or burned on it. When a program or file is burned on the CD, the CD no longer acts as a memory space but as a readable file. Every time that disc gets put in another computer, it will be read for the file that was burned on it.

Does burning a CD slow down your computer?
It really depends on how hot the fire is... No really, burning a CD means that a laser is etching information on it. Most CD's are write once, meaning that you can etch(burn) info on the disk but when its full that's it. It cannot be reused. Re-writable disks are available that can be erased and written to again. So to answer your question, burning a disk in a CD drive will normally not damage it, but after you have 'burned ' what you want on it then the disk can only be used to access the info on it and cannot be burned again.
