I'm quite new to linux (8 months), but I have always been able to erase CD-RWs through k3b, I did not need to get into the knowledge of burning through shell-commands. k3b was working like Nero under Windows for me. No learning, no restrictions, I just used it. Sorry, I cannot give you the english title of german "Mehrfachsitzung" - I run Fedora in german language, but the command has the same name as in Nero. Just select something like "erase", and your CR-RW is empty. I did that 100s of times with k3b. And you can delete anything what you want on the disk as well. It works. You just should not allow "fixing". But that's neither a speciality of Linux. -- Markus
