Can Mac OSX write CDRWs?

[nkuvu]

We have two computers in the house, which are not networked (yet!). I have a CD-RW that I can write to with the (shudder) beige box, and transfer files to the iMac. How can I do the file transfer in reverse, if at all?

I read a post on MacSlash that it could be done through the Finder's burn command. I couldn't find it -- could someone give me step-by-step info?

Oh, and if it can't be done through the Finder, I can't do it. The iMac isn't my computer, so I can't install software unnecessarily.

Thanks in advance.

1. Have a CD-Rewriter in your mac.
2. Put in a CD-RW.
3. If the MacOS reacts and asks you if you want to make this CD-RW ready for use--------- perfect. If nothing happens-------Sorry, nogo.
4. Locate the CD-RW on the Desktop.
5. Drag and Drop your Data on the CD-RW (Yeah its that simple!).
6. Try to trash the CD-RW. The Finder should ask you if you want to burn the CD.
7. Click OK and BURN!!!

Oh yeah. Be sure to use the latest System Software. OS 9.2.2 or even better OS X. Under X it should work for sure. But I dont know if diskburner (the programm that makes all this possible) supports your writer under OS 9. And be sure to chose ISO9699 or something if the finder asks you to make the CD ready. You can erase the CD in OS X (I dont know where in OS 9) in the DiskUtilitie!


Have fun burning!
