X-Message-Number: 20607 Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 08:53:22 -0600 From: "Kansas City Homes - " <> Subject: Rewritable CDs - CD-RW - size problem/writing problem Cannot figure out the problem with the size of blank rewritable CDs - (CD-RW). When I click on the CD icon and explore the CD it shows nothing on it. When I click "Properties" it shows 350 MB available, while it is a 700 MB CD and shows apparently it's blank since no files show up! :o( Another one shows "0" used and "0" available - what gives? I cannot record anything on it at all. I have used these rewritable CDs before for writing, and rewriting several times and have deleted files from them several times. Now this puzzles me. Any suggestions? Several people told me that you either need to format rewritable CDs (don't think you can do that, just "erase the disk") or because I've used them before, they are toast :o(. I wonder if someone knows how long these rewritable CDs can last - how many times can you rewrite them? I don't think I have wrote more than 10 times on each. Is that all they can handle? For that high price that you pay for them :o( Please, "cc:" me when you reply to the list. Thank you!
