How can I make my cd media writeable?

I cannot make my "raw, unformatted" CD-RW media capable
of being written to. How can I fomat them to handle data
files? Thanks!

Your third party burning software will take care of the formatting
necessary for packet writing. XP's CD writing features can write to CD/RWs
but not using packet writing. Therefore formatting is not necessary.
