How do you completely WIPE a CD-RW???

[Adam Gunnell]

I am having trouble wiping my CD-RW cd's. Once I have used them I have no software to completly wipt them to there original state. Nero won't accept them once used saying that its not blank?

Anybody know any software etc to use?

Cheers

just a note on nero, if you go under the pulldown menu for recorder, there is an option to erase rewritable. It then gives you to options to erase, just the FAT table or the whole disc.

As a side note, its best to erase the whole disc when burning vcd, I've found if you don't chose erase whole disc, that sometimes the dvd player will flip out.

also, if you are doing data files, you can always do a multi-session burn with your cdrw or cdr, you'll be able to add data later. To learn more about the multi-session feature check under the help button, then help topics for nero and type in multisession.

hope this helps out.

PS. on easy cd creator 5, the erase option is under cd, option erase disc.
