When I couldn't find 'Erase Disk" in the menu bar I tried to drag the
file to the trash but, as you say, it didn't work.

The CD-RW disks I have were burned with Toast. with an external
drive which i hated to use. I was hoping, now I can put my disks into the
computer that I could do it more simply.

That was my intention - that there is no option in the menu bar to Erase
the
disk. I just looked again and this is all I find that may bde relevant:
"New Finder
Window"; "New Burn Folder"; I checked in OSX mode, and just in case...
OS9 but
no erase comes up. I did however open the New Burb Folder and put some
data
in there then tried to drag it to the disk but, as expected, it says it
can't be modified.
