In Nero, use "Erase Rewritable" in the Recorder dropdown menu to reformat CDRW disks. Note that it can take a while, sometimes up to 45 mins...

I can only advise you to make sure you have a recent version of Nero, I checked using version 5.5.6.4

I am not sure if I understand your problem but....you have three disc's in only two drives???
CDRW disc's only need to be formatted if you are to use them like a type of hard drive and a program like DirectCD.
If I was to make a compilation music CD, I would copy the desired tracks to a file on the PC hard drive first then burn the tracks from there. Even the program writers suggest this for a better record quality.
If you burn them to a CDRW, many HI-FI CD players can't read these disc types, only PC's can (multi read I think it is called). For HI-FI systems you need to use CD-R's and burn them as audio files not data. These disc types can only be recorded once, and can't be erased.
If you are using a CDRW to get used to Nero without wasteing any disc's, you can just copy over the tracks that were previously recorded.
If I have given you no help here, you will have to post back.
