Use a CD writer and a CD burner to create documents on Cds. Isn't that obvious?

My dear,you don't "save" files or document on a CD technically, what you do is write /burn them on the CD
How can that be done?
1. Launch the software Nero- this is the software used to burn/write on CDs
2. Then follow the procedure, like clicking on "burn" then "next " and then "add ". This last one add is used to add the document you want to burn on to the CD from whereever location it is on the system- its just like exploring.
3.Make sure you have an empty CD on which you can burn your data.
Thats all

However, you can save, delete, and format your CD-RW/DVD-RW disk. All you need to do like the gurus above me suggested was to buy a CD/DVD writer, hence burner.
Remember to buy CD-RW/DVD-RW NOT CD-ROM/DVD-ROM (Read Only Memory). Make sure you install a burner software like nero
Finally, when you pop-in your CD-RW/DVD-RW select the option to format as a regular disk. This will set the RW (Read/Write) like your Floppy disk. You can cut and paste, delete, copy and paste like you would in a regular filesystem.

If there is a need for you to write a program that saves documents on CDs, it is possible without having to reprogram Nero or roxio.
I developed a CMS software once, that can auto backup its own database on cd and this is the logic i used.
1. download one of the free third party commandline cd burning tools (most of them do not require installation and work fine with XP).
2. Instruct your program to save the files in a folder on the system (prefarbly temporary folder).
3. Lauch the third party executable with command line parameters telling it where the folder is and whether it should run in hidden mode.
4. Launch a listener to know whenburning is complete (simple way to do this is to determine when the cd drive is open since it will eject when burning is complete).
5. delete your temporary folder.
That's all but u must tell the end user to make sure an empty CD is in the drive before this process is iniciated.
