On a CD-RW disc, all tracks or one track at a time can be erased. After it
has been finalized, though, only the entire disc can be erased; editing
operations such as adding a track, changing the order of tracks or dividing
tracks are no longer possible.

I am not familiar with Nero.  I've been using AdaptecEasyCD.  Maybe your
version of Nero introduces "write-protection" which effectively
renders a finalized CD into a permanent CD.  But I am not sure if
"write-protected" is the same as "finalized".
