re: Copy a file to a RW disc Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 12:36 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ricer46 (23818 messages posted) I believe that Vista has packet writing software built-in to it (same as DirectCD or InCD). and thus a CDRW should behave like a giant floppy in Vista. This was not true for previous versions of Windows, which you indicated in the previous post you believed to be true. MS's CD burning software seems to "break" easily in comparison to third party software. In any case, you should also be aware that CDRW's are less reliable than CDR's. As was pointed out in one of the other posts, thumb drives are much easier to use than CDR or CDRW, unless you want long term archiving, in which case CDR is the best way to go.
