Sky: You can erase data on a CD-R. The CD has to be in writable state under Direct CD. It works like a huge floppy drive, which never gives you back space. If you delete data on this CD-R, the space occupied by the data is forever lost. I'm sure there's some way to recover these files, but I've come up with zilch so far. I don't have to tell you while I was looking.

rUfnKy: If it's a CDRW, I'm not sure there's any way at all to recover the data. However, if you do find a way, my email id's in my profile. I need to do this on a lot of CD-RWs. Thanks in advance.
