how to stop imgburn from making discs write-protect?

[zeyno]

it says it in the title, it really annoys me when I try to get something else onto that disk

 

if need be, here's the cd info:

memorex music cd-r 40x 700mb 80min

Well, the answer is you're using CD-R's.  ImgBurn is not write protecting CD-R's as CD-R's as what are called WORM's.  That stands for Write Once Read Many.  You can only write to a CD-R once in ImgBurn.  You can write to CD-R's more than once if you're using packet writing, which is what Windows/File Explorer does when you write a CD-R as a giant floppy.  But, ImgBurn only writes to a CD-R once.

 

If you want to reuse CD media, you need CD-RW.
