i have never used a cd-rw before and i would like to use it for mandrake 10 . so when burning cd1 in nero said that i dont have enough space on my cd unless i finalize it . so i want to know what if i will ever be able to use that cd again or if iam only ending that session by doing that after doing that because it sounds so definitive. it might be a stupid question but hey you never know.

thank you.

That is the beauty of a R/W CD.. You can write again even after 'finalizing' You simply 'erase' the disk and start over. Finalizing in this case means to 'close out' the disk updating the table of contents.
