Erasing a Rewritable Disc

If you are using CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM media, you can erase the entire contents of a disc and re-record to it.

• | Caution: | If you have copied extremely sensitive data to a rewritable disc (such as private personal information), you may want to destroy the disc rather than choose the option of erasing it and re-recording over the data.

To erase a rewritable disc:

1 | Insert the disc into the recorder.

2 | Choose Recorder > Erase.

| A dialog appears, prompting you to confirm that you want to erase this disc:

| • | If you want to erase the disc quickly and you do not mind that this disc will be usable only by Toast (or Jam), click Quick Erase.

| • | If you want to erase the disc so that it can be used anywhere, click Erase.

3 | To erase the disc, click OK.

| If you confirm, Toast displays a progress bar while erasing the disc.
