I would never replace a cd with a cdr. Cdr's read much slower
than normal cd drives, and the life of your relatively expensive
cdr will be prolonged by very little use. A bigger case may be
in order here. :)

It is also a good idea to set aside the 700mb free space as a
partition as this will ensure that the space is contiguous. This
improves the speed of providing data for the cd burn.
