Cannot erase a CD-RW (files recorded as read only)

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Hi Loring,

Unless you are using Packet Writing, you will not have the ability to
erase/change individual files on a CDRW. Nero Express is not a packet
writing program, it uses the iso-9660 system similar to XP's native writing
utility. All files written to CDR/CDRW media will be read only. With a CDRW,
your only option will be to rease the disk fully. Nero often includes InCD
which is packet writing software, you may want to check your program.
