Open/Closed Disc Question
Okay... I was fiddling around with my CD burner and was wondering if there is a way in XP when burning files, to leave the CD open in order to burn more information to the disc later. I know I had a program before that gave you the option, but I don't have it anymore. Does this option exist in XP?
Thanks! t

Windows XP automatically leaves the disc open, and I don't think it has any way to close them.

It also depends if you use a CD-R disc or a CD-RW disk. CD-R closes the disk off when done and doesn't allow you to put more on the disk. CD-RW is Rewritable and can be used over and over.

The official word from Microsoft is, the in-built burning feature:
-Always burns multisession ("open") discs when writing Data CDs. -Always burns closed discs when burning Audio CDs. And there is no option to change either of those. Transcript Quote:

Okay... so here's what I've been trying now... I go to try to save a word document to the disc and into a specific folder. Now it tells me I can't save as the "folder is marked as read only.' So I unmark it and it just resets itself to 'read only' preventing me from adding anything to it. Any ideas or help appreciated!
