cannot delete files of DVD RW

i have a rewritable dvd, but i cannot get it to delete files off so i can rewrite new ones. my driver also supports DVD RW. when i go to the properties after i insert the disc, it says its a cd drive and the file system is CDFS, when it clearly is dvd because it already has 3gb on it and stuff.

 

What program are you using to try to erase the DVD? Does the drive recognize any DVD?

 

i dont have any program, i did not know you needed a program to erase it. which one do you use??

 

I use N-ero or Roxio. How are you trying to erase the disc?

 

goign to my computers and opening the disc then pressing delete. lol! well i got it now, thanks

 

Huh? What did you do to get it to work?

 

oh i used the nero burning rom thing. i also found out that dvd decrypter erases discs too.

 

Well, I figured that you had to get a program to do it, because you sure aren't going to erase the disc by trying to delete the files.

I use either N-ero or Roxio to erase mine.
