I'm pretty sure it depends on how the CD was written. If it was written in UDF (Windows Live Format), it is appendable like a regular removable drive. If it was written in ISO 9660 CDFS format (Mastered), then the disc is read only and will need to be erased and re-written with an updated complete image OR appended to in multisession mode.
