Can somebody explain how CDRWs work? As I understand it, when a CD is burnt, the disc is permanently altered by a laser, so when it is burnt a second time what happens to the first? How does the reader know which to read? How many times can a disc be filled? If it isn't an infinite number of times, how do you know whan it won't do it again?
Thanks, Mike.
