The CD-RW drive allows you
to create your own CDs. You
can buy two types of media:
CD-R and CD-RW discs.
CD-R media can be played
on most of the newer CD
players, CD-ROM,
DVD-ROM, and DVD-R/RW
drives. CD-R media can be
written to only once.
However, you can write to
CD-RW media using multiple
recording sessions until you
close out the disc.
CD-RW media can be used
to make backups of your
personal CDs or hard disk.
These discs are re-usable and
can be erased and rewritten to
numerous times.
