Originally posted by leaf: When I eject the disk from the DVD writer it asks me if I want to 'prepare' the disk to be used on other computers, and thus making the disk impossible to add any more information to. The other option is to just eject the disk, and having it only usable on my computer (however I can still add more info)
My question is, if I choose to eject the disk without 'preparing' it, what does 'only my computer' actually mean. Does it mean, only people who are running the same program as I am, or who have the same settings as I do, will be able to read the disk. How about if I reformat my computer and install the software again, then try and read the disk, will I be able to? |
Try it. AFIK, there's no one answer, all programs are different. The worst that can happen is that you'll have to "close" the disk later.
If you're sending the disk out permanantly, it won't hurt to close it (becasue you won't be able to add anything, anyway.) |
