I used DVD X Copy to burn it on my Verbatim +RW. Now I am stuck with that burn, and can't RW

Assuming you've tried erasing the DVD-RW using Easy CD/Nero or whatever you have, this might work. Go to a command prompt (D:>) or whatever drive your DVD is, type:
Attrib *.* -R -A -S -H
which will remove the attributes for read-only, archive, system, and hidden. Then try erasing.

O.K., so I know windows a little, how do I get to the command prompt. I tried using DVD X Copy to erase, both quick and full, neither worked. I am using Win xp, so how do I address my DVD R Drive directly?

O.K., I found the command prompt, and I typed that command. I got the following

"Access Denied - E:\Archive.txt"

Commwiz? I look to you not to crash my PC , since I feel I am really living up to the title "newbie"

By the way, thanks, I hadn't found that yet, you know, first PC in 8 years bla bla bla...
Thanks...
