CD RAW VS CDFS

I've been unable to burn anything with my DVD/CD-RW lately, and recently I
realized that when I insert a CD with files already on it, then Explorer
tells me it's file system is CDFS, but when I put in a blank CD then
Explorer is reporting it as RAW. Is this related to my CD burning problem,
or is this normal behavior?

I'm not able to write to either a CD with pre-existing files on it, or a
brand new CD.
