Hi,
The problem I'm facing is preety unusual. The thing is that whenever I try to erase my rewritable cd it gets closed in between & I get an error message as " Error Erasing disc". I tried reinstallling the software, Dvd-ram drivers, the hole hardware but was unable to solve it. The same cds do just fine on other pcs. I don't really understand whether it's a system problem or there is something in the dvd ram.
Hoping for a positive reply,

Why bother erasing? Once an RW disk is formatted for packet writing, you can treat it like any storage. Just delete the files on it.

Thanks for your suggestion... but I actually got my task done before I looked into your reply... but I'll keep that in my mind...

The problem I faced was related to the system and not with the dvd writter... I got it checked... and so I had to repair my OS... but thanks for your suggestion.. I'll try it out if I again come up with this type of problem.

Hi friends,

I found from one the friends in here that I can format the cd/dvd rw.. for packet writing... I tried to do that but failed.. didn't get any help even form Microsoft help centre.. can anyone here tell me how to format the cd/dvd rw for packet writing..
Thanks,
Swapnil.

For packet writing you'll need a program that has that feature: Nero comes with InCD; Roxio offers Drag-to-Disc. Both those programs also have a utility to format the disc first.
