I suggest you use a decent third party application. As I mentioned in an
earlier post there are good free programs as well as retail programs. This
freeware app is excellent http://cdburnerxp.se/home

When I perform the tasks you have suggested, there is no option listed for
me
to "Erase This CD-RW".

Sorry, your suggestion did not work. There is no option asking if I
want to
delete the CD-RW. I knew I could not delete a CD-RW but thought since I
could not erase it I would give it a try. I even tried moving the files
from
the disc to another folder but was unable to do that either.

How to use CD-RW discs in XP

If you have a writer that supports the CD-RW format, you can erase the
contents of a disc and reuse it, which is handy. To erase a disc,
follow these steps:
Double click My Computer and right click the drive that represents the
CD writer.
Select Open from the context menu.
In the CD Writing Tasks pane, click Erase This CD-RW. A wizard
appears.
Click Next and you'll see the message "Erasing the CD" with a progress
bar.
After the data is erased, you can record new data to the disk.
This works only with erasable CD-RW discs, and these discs may not
play in all CD players.
