erasing and rewriting cd's

Is it possible to use a non-rewritable cd in Vista like it was a floppy? In
other words, can you erase files and write to the disc over and over using
the "live file system" just like it was a flash drive or an old floppy?

Thanks

Unbelievable. What part of "non-rewritable" did you not understand?

NO.

Reading comprehension and reasoning ability, along with basic math,
should be prerequisites to owning or using a computer.

Actually, you could at one time with the following limitations. If you
write 100MB then delete it, the useable part of the CD is 100MB less. You
can re-use to add to it until there is no writable space left.

So in part, a CD can be used like a floppy until it's tracks are exhausted.

But I don't believe Vista supports this.

But for what a CD costs these days, burn and throw.

Of course not. It is a NON-rewritable. Like it says: it can NOT be REwrited.
