Vihar proposed the following answer:
Yes, the RW has to be formated additionaly for the purpose to be used in the way of USB's or floppys.
The usual way of recording data to CD or DWD is not like in USB or floppys which have sectors.
I don't use CD RW in this way because with USB it is much faster and comfortable, just bye one of 2GB and you'll have approx. 2 CDs in your pocket. It lasts longer than CD RW i think.

I remember there was an option in Nero for creating RWs that can be used the way you are asking about. There is a Linux version just serch the web with "Nero for Linux" phrase.
Im not sure but may be GnomeBaker and K3b have this option too. You can find them in Add/Remove or Synaptic.
