I've used Roxio EZ CD and Nero packet writing software with *no* problems.
XP's built in packet software is based on Roxio and it is nearly impossible
to screw up. The only time I've ever run into a problem is with two packet
writers fighting each other on a friend's system. Removed the built in and
the other worked fine.

| Everything is erased without formatting, Robert. The only time you need
| to format is if you want to use it for packet writing, but packet writing
| software is not the easiest to use, and if you intend using your discs on
| different PC's, each one has to have the same packet software writing
| program on it before it is readable.
|
| With the cost of CD-r's so low these days, I rarely bother with CD-RW
| now. I back up my accounts package here at the office on a daily basis,
| the back up is about 1mb-based on a 5 day week, I'm not going to have to
| get a new disc for 2 years!!
|
| CD-RW's are useful for creating VCD's sometimes though. Some standalone
| players will not play some CD-r discs, but as CD-RW's are a bit thicker,
| they are more uniformly playable. Basically it's down to trial and
| error.
