    I wrote a few CDRW's using Pioneer's DVD writer with Windows explorer in Win XP and I am not able to write anything more on them. I was able to erase the initial contents using Nero. Later when I try to write something with Optowrite CD writer, Nero writes and I can also see that it has been written, but then explorer shows that there is nothing in the CD. Can you please tell me if there is any solution.
    Thank u.

    Hi gsridhar,

    Try this tool to check your drive and your discs. On the tool bar at the top of the page you'll find an eraser icon, clicking that you'll be able to format your CD RW -

    NOTE: If you check the different forums you should find a forum dedicated to CD's. This forum is primarily for DVD backup questions.

    Sorry. Since I thought that the reason might have been the DVD writer, I came to this forum.
    Thank for the link. I will see if it works.
    Bye

    The tool I gave you formats discs.

    It didnt format. It said that the disc is new and that it doesnt need formatting.
