Ok, i'm gonna take a stab at as many issues as possible:
(I've had the cd-rw won't erase issue.. even a claim that it was, but they wouldn't burn to it, also have the dvd-rw issue of erasing and burning)

As far as 700mb cd-rw and older cd writers.. this is a bad mix... especially if you are using adapted easy cd creator. Nero is your best bet for erasing these discs, but i have had some success with a combination or XP and it's DLA functions.

As odd as it seems, i say the opposite for dvd-rw. My best experiences have been with easy cd 5 platinum with the xp migration. It erases and burns my dvd-rw's perfectly every time!
and i have a drive that HP doesn't even admit to existing as far as drivers go.. lol (similar to the 300n now available)

Right click on cd-rw drive to get properties.Recording tab.Check if enable CD recording is ticked.If not tick.Apply.If it is remove tick.Apply.Put tick back.Apply.Removing and then replacing seems to reset erase feature.

Hi, just noticed this while having same problem.

Solution:- In My Computer, right click on cd drive and select properties. In Recording tab, ensure that "Enable CD recording on this drive" is checked.
This will give you right click "erase" etc.

I have a VAIO XP and have been erasing CD-W's. First, intermittantly the right click menu would NOT list Erase as an option. Now 50% of the time I try six discs there's no Erase option and when there is the Wizard aborts and a prompt says I can't erase because Disc is IN USE try again later.

same whether I use my DVD or CD drives.

Any idea? I have a nearby IMAC, is there an easy way to erase on the iMAC? Thanks. Steve T.

If you are not showing that you even have a disc in your drive, then you have other problems.

Are you sure your drive has cd-rw abilities? What drive do you have?
