NEW TO XP, WHAT MAKES OLD CD'S READ ONLY?

[BILL]

[Matt Coy]

Bill,

What kind of 'old' cds are you referring to?

A CD that you purchase (software, music, etc) has data that is permanently
written and cannot be changed, so the files are therefore 'read only'.

just like the name CD-ROM (Read Only Memory)

1. a usually small computer memory that contains special-
purpose information (as a program) which cannot be
altered
