Formatting CDRWs

johnnymk · 08-24-2003, 03:02 PM

What's a good program for formatting rewritable CDs? How long does it take to format a disk? Does it matter which program you use after it's formatted?

I use "B's CLiP Ver3.28." because that is what came with my sony drive and it works with windows xp.

Anyone else? Or doesn't anyone use the rewrite capability of CDRWs?

i've done it with nero, but i rarely do it because cd-rs are so cheap nowadays. but yeah, nero is good.

I've only done it once and I believe I just used Windows explorer. Right click on the drive and there's a format option (I think).

Used Nero as well. CD-r's much cheaper and less burn time keeps me away from using them.

I don't even use CD-RW since CD-Rs are so cheap nowaday.

I just build a new cd iso and say burn. It says media not ready, and then pops up a window saying, this is a cd-rw and has info, would you like to blank this cd and lose all information ?
you say yes and it blanks the cd and then writes the cd for you. I only have one cd-rw but it has always come through fine.
i think i have nero 5 something.
