Thank you for image burn.

The "Quick Erase" option is greyed out.

Can only do a full erase.

Running version 2.5.5.0

 

Also I can't tell whether to sign in with "jjps" or "jps"

Different ones show up after signing on. I'm confused.

Please reply with an Email message as I might not be able to

find this board again.

Regards,

Jack Shankle

If the 'Quick' button is greyed out, it's probably because quick erase isn't a valid option at that time.

 

I'm guessing it's on a brand new DVD+RW or BD-RE, correct?

 

Quick erase typically just writes zeros to the first few hundred sectors on the disc and is essentially a waste of time on DVD+RW / BD-RE media as they support direct overwrite.

 

Brand new DVD+RW / BD-RE have to be formatted before the drive will accept any 'Write' commands - hence a proper 'full' format is the only option.
