my cdrw will run regluar cds fine but when i insert a blank one to burn to it, it tells me that it needs to be formatted and then says that it cant format it?? when I put a floppy in it says it needs to be formatted then says it cant do it. I know the floppies are formatted bc they have stuff on them and work in other comps, and the CD-R's are store bought and work fine in my other computer. I have no clue what to do? Any help would be awesome. Thanks

What software came with your cdrw? It should explain how to format your cd-r. In my case I use Roxio and it tells me exactly how to do it. I seem to remember that Nero does not support cd-r for their drag and drop packet writing, and if you have Nero...well there you go.

The new Nero has the ability to do the drag and drop, at least thats what I read when I did my last install for my wifes new CDRW
