Erasing a Disc

If you are using a rewritable disc (in CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, or

DVD-RAM format), you can erase content that has been previously

recorded onto it. This allows you to reuse the same discs over and

over without the need to continually buy new discs. Most

manufacturers suggest that discs in DVD-RW or DVD+RW format

can be written to about 1,000 times. Discs in DVD-RAM format can be

written to about 100,000 times.

1. Click Erase Disc. The Erase Rewritable Disc dialog box opens.

2. Insert your disc and select your burning drive.

3. Select an erasing method.

• Quick erase: Erases the disc index, but does not physically

erase the content on the disc.

• Full erase: Erases all of the content on the disc. (This option

takes more time to complete.)

4. Click Erase. PowerBackup displays the real-time progress of the

task.

When the task is completed, a message appears, informing you of the

status. Click OK to close the message.
