i have recently purchased a pack of cd-rw's but i can't seem to format the disks. So i just burn some music on to the cd-rw with nero 6.0. But now for some reason i can't extract what i have on the disk onto my computer. And now when i use nero to add some new music onto the disk it wil appear as its there but its really not. How can i format a cd-rw with nero and how can i extract what i put on the disk back to my computer. Can someone please help?

When you say "music" do you mean .mp3 .wma audio files on a data disc, or making an audio disc?

Tell step by step what you've done and maybe somebody will see why you're having a problem.

Well i use Nero to put mp3 on a data disc. But after i burned it to the data disc, later i tied to put more mp3 files on the disc and it stated that the content on the file are read-only files. And it stated there is there is no more free space on the disc. I'm thinking if i can format the disc beforehand i can add or delete files at will. And also i can't take out the files on the disc using Nero.

To add and delete files like a floppy you have to use Nero InCD.
Trouble is, it's slow and unreliable. You are better off to write rewritable CDs as finalized CDs and just write all the files on at once. You can erase the disc anyway so it's no big deal to "waste some space" on the disc. You might keep a folder that you add to and write to CDRW on each go. If you want to save the contents permanently then write to a CDR.

As for having trouble reading the disc back, you shouldn't have that by writing it as a finalized CD. I don't put InCD on my systems anymore as it just creates problems. Burn your discs with Nero Burning Rom. Another benefit of writing CDRW as a CDR is you can read it back even under Linux and on some stand-alone DVD players.
