    This should be an easy one. I burned data on my only DVD+RW disk w/ my Benq. Now the burnt files are read-only, and I can't erase them, not allowed. What should I do?
    Win Xp
    BenQ dual DVD burner
    Dell Dem-2400 p4
    disk=DVD+RW 4.7 (free w/ BenQ purcase)

    What do you mean you can't erase them? Are you trying to delete them in Windows Explorer by hitting the 'del' key? Or are you trying to erase the disk by going into your DVD burning program? (Nero, Roxio, Alcohol 120%)
