How to Write a File to a CD
Storing a file on a CD is a method you can use to transport files from one location to another. Using rewritable CDs, or CD-RW, it is possible to take a file home, work on it using your home computer, save any revisions and return to work with the file the next day. However, if you use a writable CD, or CD-R, you can only add files to it once.
