Erasing a DVD or CD

You can use RecordNow! to erase music, data, or video files from rewriteable
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 rewriteable disc that has files on it,
the recording program prompts you to erase the disc first.
1 Click Start, choose All Programs, CD (DVD) Recorder, RecordNow!,
and then click RecordNow! again.
2 Insert the DVD+RW or CD-RW you want to erase. If an Auto Play window
opens, click Cancel.
3 Select Erase Disc under your Home Screen or Data Projects tab.
4 Click Yes to confirm that you want to erase the disc.

About 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.
