New the patch that isn't
The patch doesn't disable the root kit, just allows it to be seen more easily.
Sony BMG's technology partner First 4 Internet, a British company, said Wednesday that it has released a patch to antivirus companies that will eliminate the copy-protection software's ability to hide. In consequence, it will also prevent virus writers from cloaking their work using the copy-protection tools.

So, how does one "patch" a CD? I was under the impression that this kind of disc was write-once.
Have fun,

New No, it isn't 'write once' . . .
. . it's "stamp once" just like the old vinyl phonograph records - if there's any volume to speak of anyway. Only for very short runs is it "write once".
