My DVD drive will not erase discs. It ocassionally begins the process through
the wizard, but it always stops a few seconds into it. It also comes up as a
CD-RW process. The discs are in good shape with minimal scratches. It seems
to read and write fine. Any help is appreciated.

You need a third-party DVD recording program in order
to erase DVD discs. The native CD recording program
within Windows XP only supports CD-RW erasure/recording.

Example:

Nero
