New job, new life, new adventures. I can now now buy the things that I usually crave for when I was still a student... (of course just few of them...How I wish I could buy them all...). This time, a digital camera. I have a purchased a Sony Cybershot DSC W-320 which have an oozing 14.1 megapixel resolution. Higher resolution, better pictures, and of course huge file sizes. More time to wait to upload your photos on your social media. Of course if you want to avoid the hassle about the time uploading your photos on the web, you will opt to do these measures: Reduce the pixel size of the camera when taking pictures; or Use Microsoft Picture Manager to reduce the size of your photos. Isn't it? We'll I don't prefer both solutions, so I decided to search for a software which could solve my problem, and also the problem of my co-photo enthusiasts, bloggers and social media fanatics.

This is the second part of my post about Rewriting on a write-once discs. The first article is a vital one so that this second part be easier to understand, and also you can get and formulate some ideas and concepts about this burning hot thing. If you have a lot of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs stocked on your room and is needed to be disposed of because you no longer need and use it, then just read this post. You may use that burned CD again. Yes! I repeat you can still use it again,,, again and again. Again, this tutorial is only meant for Windows 7 operating system only.

The memory allocation for the deleted file will still be counted as...

Part 1 Yes! you heard it right! You can now make your CD+/-R or DVD+/-R act like a rewritable one. During the Windows XP days, this is impossible. Once you have written something on a recordable disc, then you can't save a file on it anymore. Rewriting on a discs can only be done through CD+/-RW or DVD+/-RW type of discs. These rewritable type of discs costs as much as two to five times compared with the write-once or recordable discs. As I have upgraded my operating system from Windows XP into Windows 7, I have discovered several exciting things about it. I first thought that this feature is only designed for RW discs, but I have once experimented it on a write-once disc and it worked! This discovery is among the most important feature of Windows 7 that I am using until now. I've researched on it and found out that this is possible through the Windows 7's UDF file system To do this, you need the following: A blank CD-R, CD+R, DVD-R or a DVD+R An optical bu...
