The information on this article will show you how to erase a CD-RW/DVD-RW without using any other software on Windows XP. You can do either a quick erase or a full erase. Once the CD/DVD is erased (or "formated"), it is considered "blank" and you can write new files/folders to it.
Requirements: You need to enable the CD-R feature on Windows XP.
Note: Besure to backup the data from your CD/DVD before proceed.
Insert a ReWritable CD/DVD disc into the CD/DVD drive.
From Desktop, double-click on "My Computer".
Double-click on the CD-Rom drive.
On the window that displays the contents of the CD, click on the menu "Erase this CD-RW" on the left panel.
On the window "CD Writing Wizard", click "Next".
The "CD Writing Wizard" starts to erase the CD:
Once the erasing is complete, the wizard will disappear and the CD-Rom window shows no files on the CD. You're done!
