saving to cd rom - read only
um. you cant save to a CD, the media itself is Read Only...do u have a CD-RW
or a normal CD-R? RW is the only one that lets you ReWrite.. "earl" wrote in message ... I have a PowerPoint presentation on a CD.

saving to cd rom - read only
You cannot save to a cdrw directly unless you use packet writing software,
which xp does not have. With packet writing software the cd then acts like a giant floppy disk. A regular cd-rw is always read-only, thus you cannot edit the files directly on the cd. You would first copy the file off the cd, edit it, then burn it back. A cd-r is always read-only and it is not rewriteable, meaning once you burn a file to it, that's it, it's their for ever and can't be changed. Roxio and nero are the two most popular burning programs that do packet writing. "earl" wrote in message ... I have a PowerPoint presentation on a CD.

Roxio and nero are the two most popular burning programs that do packet writing. Regardless of packet writing or not, the file attribute will be set to r/o, even on a cdrw. When you "overwrite" the file, the original file is removed from the TOC, but it's still there, taking up space; you just can't see it. The only way to really remove a file is to COMPLETELY erase the CDRW. "earl" wrote in message ... I have a PowerPoint presentation on a CD.
