Erasing a Disc
If you are using a rewritable disc (in CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW,
DVD-RAM, or BD-RE format), you can erase content that has been
previously recorded onto it. This allows you to reuse the same discs
over and over without the need to continually buy new discs. Most
manufacturers suggest that rewritable discs in -RW/+RW format can
be written to about 1,000 times. Discs in DVD-RAM format can be
written to about 100,000 times.
1. Click Erase Rewritable Disc. The Erase Rewritable Disc dialog
box opens.
2. Insert your disc and select your burning drive.
3. Select an erasing method.
• Quick erase: Erases the disc index, but does not physically
erase the content on the disc.
• Full erase: Erases all of the content on the disc.
4. Click Erase. PowerBackup displays the real-time progress of the
task.
When the task is completed, a screen message appears, informing
you of the status. Click OK to close the message.
