Blanking CDRW - How!!??

I recently bought some CD-RWs and was looking to re-write some laptop drivers onto a disk. However, this disk needs to be blank first.

Any ideas how to do this blanking! (software download etc).

Thanks in advance

    I wish it was that easy! Doesn't seem as simple as that though. I've gone into 'my computer' and it my d:/ drive isn't showing up. Apart from a couple of songs on the CDRW accessed via media player, its useless at the moment.

    Any ideas?

    if you don't have any erasing programs just search erasing cds on google

    Problem solved! For some reason my dvd-rw drive reappeared after a reboot and I found the option to erase the disk after going to explore!
