2.5.7 Erasing the contents of a disc
The owner of a recorder that can erase rewritable discs can delete the contents if
such a disc is inserted in the drive.
Clicking on 'Erase disc' will open the corresponding window.
Choose Recorder
If a number of recorders that can all erase disc contents have been installed,
you can select from the recorders available. You can change the recorder by
clicking on the dropdown button and selecting another. This area will be
disabled if only one recorder has been installed.
Select the erase method to be used
There are two different methods of erasure. You can choose a different
method by clicking on the dropdown button and selecting another one.
Quick erasure: The data on the disc is not deleted, only the information on
the data on the disc is erased. The disc looks as if it has not been written on
even though it is has been. As the data can be restored by experts, this
method of erasure is not suitable if there is confidential data on the disc. The
advantage of this method is the speed at which the disc is processed. Erasure
is complete after about two minutes and the disc can then be burned again.
Full erasure: The data on the disc is completely deleted and the DVD is
blank. The disadvantage here is the time needed until the data has been
completely removed. Depending on recorder and medium, it can take up to
about 30 minutes.
