Hi All:

I have a CD-RW disc that I'm trying to reuse. I originally burned some
stuff onto it just to transport to another computer; now I just want to
reformat it and start again.

Nero says the disc's write-protected. It will (apparently) do the
"full-erase" thing, but the content of the disc doesn't go away.
If I try to burn anything to the CD, it fails, either claiming the media's
damaged or that it's write-protected.

I don't remember exactly how I put on the data that's there, but I'm
wondering if I finalized the disc and, if I did, if that's irreversible.

You'd probably be guessing that I don't use CD-RWs very often. You'd be
right. At this rate, I might not use them again!

Bests,

Tim
