Perhaps your broken Shift key is driving you crazy.
A -RW disc can be reinitialized -- your manual should tell you how.
When you reinitialize it, it becomes an empty disc again.
A -R or +R can be written only once. When you record something on it,
that space is used and can never be recovered. There's no such thing
as reinitializing a -R or +R. But since you can buy several of them
for the price of a candy bar, I wouldn't worry about it.
