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 will prompt 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 the Data Projects tab.
4 Click Erase Disc.
5 Click Yes to confirm that you want to erase
the disc.
Removing Files from a Recorded
Data Disc
RecordNow! can't erase files from recordable
(record once) DVDs or CDs, but files that have been
previously recorded can be removed. 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.
To remove data files from a recorded DVD or CD:
1 Click Start, choose All Programs, CD (DVD)
Recorder, RecordNow!, and then click
RecordNow! again.
2 Select the Data Projects tab.
3 Insert the disc from which you
want to remove files. If an Auto Play window
opens, click Cancel.
4 Click Data Disc.
5 Select the file you want to remove, and
then click the Remove icon. You must
have at least one file on your data disc to
re-record it.
6 Click Yes.
7 Click the Burn icon to save your data disc without
the files you removed.
8 Click Done when the recording is complete.
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 delete
a file from a DVD+R or CD-R after the disc is
recorded, available disc space is lost.
