M MarkW7 New member Jul 13, 2009 #1 Is there a sort of 'hack' to reuse CD-R's. I have ubuntu 8.10 on a cd i burnt and want to replace it with 9.04 without using another disk. I also have some old files on a CD-R and i want to use the disk for gparted. Mark.

M monkey7 New member Jul 13, 2009 #4 Bootable disks need to be finalised, can't write to them after so you'll have to take a new disk.
M MarkW7 New member Jul 13, 2009 #5 If i was to get a CD-RW and make a bootable disk, could i not add files / reuse it?
M monkey7 New member Jul 13, 2009 #6 I have never tried, but don't think so as the bootable disk needs to be finalized. Can't ubuntu install from USB stick?
