Erasing a Disc
If you are using a rewritable disc (in -RW, +RW, or -RAM 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.
