Long as you didn't close the session, there SHOULD be an option to format a CD-RW in Nero.

If not, it should be possible to do it in Windows... right-click the CD-RW and click Format...?

Simple. CD-RW Erase = uber destroy command, it even rewrites your table of contents completely... then it realigns every single bit of data on the disc to 0 (neutral) manually. It doesn't care at all whether stuff is "closed" or not.

Nero gives that warning in case you closed the session for a reason. Basically it assumes that the only reason you'd actually close a CD-RW is because you want it to keep its data.
