How do I format (or erase?) cd's that have info on them using XP? The help
screens do not seem to cover this. My cmputer has a dvd-rom and a dvd/cd
writer.

You can only erase a CD-R/W disc. Pop the CD-R/W into the drive and click to
open. Then select Erase. You can't erase individual files.

You must have not looked to hard in Help and Support. Click Start, Help and
Support, enter "erase cd" in the search box and you will be given a step by
step process.

You can only erase an RW device. You use the Drag-to-Disk utility to erase
RW disks (using EasyCD Creator).
