[Debburn-devel] seeking help so I can erase a CD-RW [I'm a newbie with Linux.]

[Stan]

Today I wanted to save <on a CD-RW> various files and folders. I got out
my CD-RW which holds various older files and opened K3B. It wouldn't
erase the info on the disc so I couldn't put anything new on it. [In my
Linux distro (MEPIS 6.0), I use K3B 0.12.14 (using KDE 3.5.3).]

Please tell me what's wrong and how I should fix this. Thanks.  Here's
the K3B error report:
