CD-RW
Compact disc on which data can be recorded (compare with CD-ROM, compact disc read-only memory); unlike CD-R disks, stored data can be erased and CD-RW disks reused.
CD-RW drives can read CD-ROM disks but CD-RW disks cannot be read in all CD-ROM drives, although those that cannot read CD-RW tend to be the older types of CD-ROM drive as new drives can cope with CD-RW as standard.
