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.
1 Click Start, choose All Programs, Sonic
RecordNow!, and then click RecordNow!
again.
2 Insert the DVD-RW, DVD+RW or CD-RW you want to
erase. If an autoplay window opens, click Cancel.
3 Select the Home screen tab, and then select
Erase Disc.
4 Click 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, DVD+R or CD-R, the disc space is lost and
cannot be used for new recordings.
■ You cannot 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, DVD+R or CD-R after the disc is recorded,
available disc space is lost.
