I had it so I could use it like a regular drive. So basically (correct me if I'm wrong)... I use my CD-RW disks the exact same way I'd use a CD-R disk, but with my CD-RW disk I have the capability to erase it and re-use it? At least until UDF support becomes available under FreeBSD? Thanks for your help. >Did you write the disk as an ISO disk or by using the option that >makes the CD-RW look like a normal disk?
