Also can you see that CD-RW is correctly detected by either winodws or Nero. XP will show the icon for it which states CD-RW. With Nero when you create a new project then you can see the type of disk that Nero has detected. Are both CD-RW? If not then there are chances that your CD writer is not working properly.
As already asked by ashfame what is the message shown by Nero? If it does recognise the correct media type then it should display/enable the option to erase the media ie. CD-RW.

Yes Nero and Windows both detect the CD but in CD-R format..... not in the CD-RW format......... I don't think that my CD writer is damaged because Linux can erase that CD-RW using that CD Writer only.........
Another thing...... I have DVD-Writer installed in my PC..... Both the drives showing the problem in XP.........
