Okay, I had a Cd-rw with things wrote on it, I erased it with windows, all went find and I burned some music on it(I made an audio Cd so I can play it on most Cd-players) Today I want to use it for something else, so I must erase everything on it. Well I can't! In My computers the erase options doesn't appear and I tried Clone CD and Nero they don't wanna erase either! Wtf? I need your help people! Thanks!
Almost no CD players will be able to read audio CD-RWs because the reflection level is too low. They are fine for data or for audio recorded in and played back on: 1) a computer or 2) a stereo CD recorder that can write to CD-RWs; but other players will have problems. In Nero, open "Make a Data CD" and select "Recorder." One of the options is "Erase Rewritable Disc." InCD requires the installation of the Nero packet-writing software that causes a lot of problems for people transferring discs from computer to computer because incompatible packet-writing software messes up rewritable discs so often. If that does not work, try a different drive in your system that may have a better chance of recognizing the address table of the disc to allow erasure. Disc/drive incompatibilities on CD-RW discs can make the addresses so illegible that not even the recording drive can recognize the disc when it is placed into the drive again.
Well my Cd player can play my CD just fine! I made an audio Cd out of my Cd-rw now my computer recognize it as an Audio CD, not a Cd-rw anymore. I used Nero burning tool to burn it, now even nero doesn't recognize it as an Cd-rw anymore. Isn't some kind of tool to erase Cd-rw that will just erase my Cd without asking any question?? I can't figure out how to solve this problem.
CD-RWs were meant to be the equivalent of CD-Rs that could be erased. Recording audio to the CD-RW using Nero writes the disc just as a CD-R, so all the reading programs will see it as a CD-R. It only appears as a disc that can be erased when it is formatted with packet-writing software (InCD, DirectCD, DLA, etc.) or is completely blank. Your drive will still be able to erase it by using Nero, selecting RECORDER, and ERASE REWRITABLE DISC. That command will check the disc to make sure it is able to be erased, then give you the option of quick or full erase.
