BD-RE Reformat To Max Capacity

[Race Guy]

I formatted a blank BD-RE with "Prefer Format Without Spare Areas" NOT checked, which saves some "spare area", as I discovered in another post.

 

Consequently, I have a disc that's now about .75 GB smaller in capacity than a BD-R would be.

 

What's the procedure to reformat this disc to "max capacity". Nothin's jumping out at me in the "Tools" pull down.

 

Also, in the Write Settings tab, there's a pull down that says: "Prefer Format Size" & the 3 choices are "Preferred, Minimum, Maximum".

 

The obvious choice is "Maximum", but is it the correct choice?

 

Thanks!!

Tools -> Drive -> Erase -> Full.

 

or

 

Right click the drive selection box -> Erase -> Full

 

or

 

Click the 'Erase Disc' button in the Destination box when you're in Build/Discovery/Write mode.

 

If you're formatting without spare areas then the format size option doesn't apply.

EXCELLENT!

 

I now have 12,219,392 sectors & 25,025,314,816 bytes free, which I think is identical to a BD-R.

 

Thanks Mr. UK!!!
