Can I burn a bootable ISO on a CD+RW or only on a CD+R ?

Can I burn a bootable ISO on a CD+RW or only on a CD+R ?

I read somewhere in the past that burning a bootable image on a re-writeable media cause
often problems because the boot sector is NOT recognized successfully.

Is this true?

Do I have to setup some special options when I use a +RW (or -RW) ?

Nope, the only problem I have ever had is that real old dinosaurs
with ancient cdrom drives dont like CDRWs as much as CDRs so
its not a great idea to put diagnostic stuff like Hiren's on CDRWs
if you want to use them in dinosaurs that ancient.

Nope, not when using decent modern burner software like Roxio EMC.
