Detailed explanation-1: -CD-RW (Compact Disc-Rewritable) is a digital optical disc storage format introduced in 1997. A CD-RW compact disc (CD-RWs) can be written, read, erased, and re-written.

Detailed explanation-2: -CD-R VS CD-RW The main difference between the CD-R and the CD-RW is that the CD-R can only be recorded to once, while a CD-RW can be recorded multiple times, like a hard drive. However, there are some other differences. Due to the more sensitive laser optics, the CD-RW can be recorded multiple times.

Detailed explanation-3: -After writing to a CD-R, it becomes a CD-ROM. A Compact Disc Re-Writable (CD-RW) is an erasable disc that can be reused. The data on a CD-RW disc can be erased and recorded over numerous times. NOTE: CD-RW media may not be readable outside of the drive it was created in.

Detailed explanation-4: -A CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) disc is a compact disc that can be written, read arbitrarily many times, erased, and written again.

Detailed explanation-5: -Heated to one temperature, the material cools to a transparent state; heated to another temperature, it cools to a cloudy state. By changing the power (and therefore the temperature) of the writing laser, the data on the CD can be changed, or “rewritten.” A CD-R can be read by just about any CD player.
