Erasing a CD-RW Disc

Easily Free-Up Space on CD-RW Discs Using the On-Screen Burner Interface

CD-RW discs are convenient to use as data storage due to their “Re-Writable” properties. This means that data can be written to a disc, then erased, so new data can take its place. To support this feature, this unit’s On-Screen Burner Interface provides two ways to erase data on CD-RW discs:

Quick Erase

The fastest way to free up a CD-RW disc for recording, this procedure only requires one minute to complete. This method erases only the Table of Contents of the disc, making the disc appear empty and allowing its data to be over-written. *If you wish to actually erase all the data on a disc, use FULL ERASE.

Full Erase

To make sure that all data on a disc is completely destroyed, use the FULL ERASE method. This procedure takes about ten minutes to complete - much longer than QUICK ERASE - and is generally used only for discs containing sensitive data.

Insert a CD-R or CD-RW disc in the CD-RW drive. Press ENTER again to close the tray. Notice the Disc Usage and Disc Type indicators at the bottom of the screen. The Disc Type indicator appears to the left of the icons and indicates the type of disc and amount of free space. The Disc Usage Indicator appears at the very bottom of the screen and gives a graphical representation of the amount of disc space used. In the example below, an 8X CD-RW disc is inserted with about 50% of its space used.
