Copying to cd-rw or dvd-rw

[t.lungley]

I am running Windows XP(Home Edition)
I am finding it difficult to copy my files to a cd-rw or dvd-rw when I alter a file on my computer then when i try to write the ammended file to cd-rw it comes up with the message that the files on the cd-rw are `read only` and that I can`t write to the disc.
Anyone got any idea`s

are you trying to alter it on the cd rw? did you copy it from the cd to the pc and then back?

At first i copy my files to the cd-rw no problem but when i ammend a file on my computer then try to copy the ammended file back to the cd-rw that`s when it says that the files on the cd-rw are`read only` and i cannot re-write the file to the cd-rw

The problem can occur because individual files cannot be deleted from CD-RW discs. The CD-RW disc cannot be used for random-access storage during a write function.
