What kind of drive did you do this in?  What I was asking about is if you
burn files onto a CDRW disc in a CDR drive, will the CDRW disc still be
usable as rewriteable media in a CDRW drive?  As for doing simple file
copies from a CDR to a CDRW, that's quite a different matter.

If you burned the CDRW disc in a CDR drive, I'd be very interested to hear
what happens.
