I have Windows XP Home Edition. The following is from the HELP file:
To erase files from a CD
Open My Computer.
Double-click the CD recording drive. Windows displays the files and folders located on the CD.
Under CD Writing Tasks, click Erase this CD-RW. Windows displays the CD Writing Wizard.
Follow the instructions in the wizard to delete the files on the CD-RW.
Notes:
To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
Erasing the CD deletes all the files on the CD; you cannot select individual files to delete.
Not all CDs are erasable. If the CD you are using is not erasable, for example, a CD-R, then this feature is not available.

Ann, I never use the XP CD writing capability. Instead, I use either Nero,<br>or EZCD Creator. Both of those programs include an erase function. I don't<br>know how you would erase a CDRW disk in XP without using an auxiliary<br>program (such as Nero). Once the disk is erased, you can write to it with XP<br>Explorer, but I still feel more confident by using one of the two programs I<br>mentioned instead.<br><br>Peter<br>-----------------------------------------------<br>The NoSpin Group<br>[log in to unmask]<br><br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> How do you erase a CD-RW?
