Erasing a DVD or CD

You can use RecordNow! to erase music, data, or video files from rewritable DVDs and CDs, leaving almost all the disc space available for new recordings.

If you try to record a video or music file to a rewritable disc that has files on it, the recording program prompts you to erase the disc first.

1Click Start, choose All Programs, Sonic RecordNow!, and then click RecordNow!.

2Insert the DVD+RW or CD-RW you want to erase. If an Auto Play window opens, click Cancel.

3Select the Home Screen tab and then Erase Disc.

4Click Yes to confirm that you want to erase the disc.

Removing Files in RecordNow!

When removing files in RecordNow!, it is important to note:

•When you remove a recorded file from a data DVD+R or CD-R, the disc space is lost and can’t be used for new recordings.

•You can’t remove music files from previously recorded music CDs, but you can remove music files from the File Selection window in RecordNow! before you record the files to your disc.

•You must use a blank CD to create a music CD.

•If you delete files from the File Selection window in RecordNow! before the disc is recorded, available disc space is not affected. If you remove a file from a DVD+R or CD-R after the disc is recorded, available disc space is lost.
