yes thanks it helped....

It would be nice to mount cdrw as a regular file system...

so in using mkisofs to create hybrid CD, with both RockRidge and Joliet 
extensions, which will be readable on Unix and Windows platforms would be:

$ mkisofs -l -J -R -o cd.iso mydata/

would I have to use cdrecord to delete the existing data if I wanted to 
re-write the data on the cd?

ps. as I spoke of earlier DirectCD is a driver by Moxio (Easy Cd Creator) 
that lets you treat a cdrw as a HD....the downside is the cd is then only 
usable in a machine with Directcd.....and a good chunk of the disk is lost 
to hold metadata/format information on its contents...
