You have to "blank" it first with cdrecord's option:
        blank=type blank a CD-RW disc (see blank=help)
$ cdrecord --blank=help
Blanking options:
        all blank the entire disk
        disc blank the entire disk
        disk blank the entire disk
        fast minimally blank the entire disk (PMA, TOC, pregap)
        minimal minimally blank the entire disk (PMA, TOC, pregap)
        track blank a track
        unreserve unreserve a track
        trtail blank a track tail
        unclose unclose last session
        session blank last session

Normally "fast"or "minimal" are sufficient, an "all" blanking can take a
long time, as the whole CD gets written with zeros.

Ciao,
