Can I erase a pc formatted cd-rw to use it on my Mac

[GrannySmith]

Does anyone know how I can re use a CD that was originally formated and written to by PC WinMe I think.
I no longer have the PC and I want to back up my Mac stuff on it.
I actually have several.
thanks

I have Toass 5.2 but it will not erase it as it says the drive is busy or another application is using it. But of course it isn"t.
the CD will not mount at all but disc info in toast says it is full.

Considering the prices of disks these days, you should just go and get another. Much less trouble and then you know it'll work fine.
