Changing cd's " read only " status so i can delete things on it

[lotus_triangle]

Hi, this maybe an easy question for people here to answer, but for a guy like me who's not that experienced with computers its complicated to me...

I want to use some computer cd's here for putting some new software on them. they are already full with other software some other guy put on it. but i want to delete his stuff on the cd so i can add my own. every time i try to delete it tells me that its " read only " status and because of this i am unable to delete things on the cd.

my question is, is it possible to delete the stuff on the cd or change the read only status so i can free up some space on it enabling me to do so? Thanks in advance.

The only cd`s you can overwrite, are cd-rw`s. All you need to do, is format them and you have a blank cd again.

If the cd`s in question are just ordinary cdr`s, there is nothing you can do.

if the cd was burnt in multisession you would be able to burn more things onto it

thanks yeah, they are the regular cdr's so i guess i can't get rid of the stuff on them. thanks for answering
