There are two laser eyes in your burner. One to read and one to write. Your read is most likely dead. Or the chip that reads. Sounds like a software glitch to me. Try un-installing re-boot and re-installing your burning software. Try updating the burning software.

How do you earse songs from a CD?

There are several kinds of CDs. Stamped (store bought) CD that come with data on them, are not writable, or erasable. They are manufactured with the data already on them. CDR discs can be written with a computer drive, but in general, they cannot be erased. They can be damaged where they can't be read back though. CDRW discs can be written to and then erased and re-written. You need software on the computer to do that though. Look into Nero burning ROM. It's a very good program for doing what you want here, assuming you are using CDRW discs.
