Ok, i’m gonna take a stab at as many issues as possible:
(I’ve had the cd-rw won’t erase issue.. even a claim that it was, but they wouldn’t burn to it, also have the dvd-rw issue of erasing and burning)

As far as 700mb cd-rw and older cd writers.. this is a bad mix… especially if you are using adapted easy cd creator. Nero is your best bet for erasing these discs, but i have had some success with a combination or XP and it’s DLA functions.

As odd as it seems, i say the opposite for dvd-rw. My best experiences have been with easy cd 5 platinum with the xp migration. It erases and burns my dvd-rw’s perfectly every time!
and i have a drive that HP doesn’t even admit to existing as far as drivers go.. lol (similar to the 300n now available)

Hi, just noticed this while having same problem.

Solution:- In My Computer, right click on cd drive and select properties. In Recording tab, ensure that “Enable CD recording on this drive” is checked.
This will give you right click “erase” etc.
