( i assume you mean pressed cdroms like MsWindows or Doom3 that you buy)
 do you even know how they are made?!?
.. you cant "burn" more data on a "molded" cdrom, as the
reflective layer is not only not "burnable", but never was "burnt" to begin
with.
but thanks for playing!!!

mabey a better idea is hard drives and usb thumbdrives,
how about some floppys!!! or mabey cover the anti-record
tabs on some audio cassettes, record over some Britney with
some Megadeath or.. nevermind.
*sigh*

Actually I've seen a lot of drivers and small software packages arrive on cdr these days

p.s. next time please do some research...

Subject: [Full-disclosure] overburning edit of molded cdroms feasible?



Scenario: chinese agent buys molded cdroms from stores
in Washington D.C. and overburns new data along the
same spiral with a specialized cdrom drive. Returns
the cdroms to the story which then re-shrinkwraps and
puts back on the shelf. 1.) Is this possible? 2.)
Could firmware automatically do a quick check for
this?

Thanks.
