Erase Disc
Erases rewritable discs. The Erase Rewritable Disc window is
opened; the erasing method is adjustable.
Before a disc can be erased, the disc burner must contain a
rewritable disc.
Disc Info
Shows information about the inserted disc (e.g. type of disc,
available storage capacity, number of sessions, and tracks). The
Disc Info window is opened.
Insert the disc that you want to know more about and select the drive
in which it is located.
8.1 Erase Rewritable Disc Window
Nero Recode can be used to erase rewritable discs, i.e. discs with the RW specification, as
long as your recorder supports this feature. Two erase methods are available for this
purpose:
Quick erasing does not remove the data physically from the disc, but instead only makes it
inaccessible by erasing the references to existing content. The data can be restored!
Full erasing removes the data from the disc by overwriting it with zeros. The contents cannot
be restored with conventional methods. Repeated full erasing increases the probability that
third parties will not be able to reconstruct the contents.
