If I remember correctly, a version of Nero on Windows used to be able to
do that. Unfortunately, I never used it because the only time I tried
to, the computer glitched and permanently destroyed my CDRW, so I've
never tried again.
I'd venture to guess that Nero installed a CD-ROM driver in Windows and
took care of writing to the CD in a proprietary format. In that way,
I'd also assume that using only software to manage that would not be
possible, as device driver-level support would also be required.
Totally Guessing,
The above is incorrect. Nero is a program that can format a CD-RW under
windows. Once formatted the CD can be used like any of the hard-drives.
