Question for Freebase (or anyone): is there any way to make a normal CDRW disc writeable as a drive? In other words, to be able to save files (text) to it from within a wp prog rather than have to keep going into nero or whatever and re-burning the files? I want to use it as a removable backup for my journals, as the files have a habit of getting corrupted on the hdd, so this would be a way of ensuring I always had one working copy.

I remember it was possible to do something like set a CD up as a virtual drive once, way back in the mists of my youth, when recordable CDs were just getting going. But is it still possible, or practical now?

Thx

PS I tried it with a pen drive but somehow the same thing tends to happen... the amount of times I've had to rewrite reviews...!
