f one does go thus route, then it might be best not to have installed just a CD-ROM that can only READ, but make sure it can also Record, or Record & re-Write If you plan on burning CDs you would want to change the CD drive to a cd-r or cd-rw. You can add to a cd-r if you don't finalize the cd.....you just can't overwrite the data on it. I use cd-r instead of cd-rw disks because my computers at work will not read a cd-rw once your write request is done, the CD is now a Read-Only When taking a cd-r to work, I always have to copy the disk to the hard drive and then remove the read only attribute before I can use the files. I'm not very up-to-date on this burning stuff so my info may not be completely true. Hopefully, some wiser heads will chime in.
