You cannot format a RW in DOS, you have to use InCD if you want to format it. If you just want to burn it, erase it first using InCD.

THE disc may be going bad. If you have access to another pc with a burner, try erasing it there (i.e. doing a full erase with nero or any other burning app). That works for me sometimes for things like these. They disc may eventually go bad again though

What Rios and Chuck said. You need to determine if it's a problem with the disc or a problem with the computer. Bad discs are common, they only cost 50 cents.
