CD-R CDs cannot be reformatted or erased. You'll need a CD-RW Drive
and CD-RW CDs if you wish to reuse or reformat CDs.

No can do. Instead, scratch badly o r crack/break up
the CD (careful, they spit pieces all over the place)
or burn it.

A CD-R is a write once device. The only way to delete files from it is
by destroying it (eg a pair of shears)
If you want to reformat disks, you need to use CD-RW ones, and use
software appropriate to the matter (not the inbuilt burning system in
XP). See more at http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.htm
