Erase Discs

[Ruairidh]

I'm new to ImgBurn (obviously) and I'm still finding my way. I read I can use it to erase discs but I can't find that function. Anyone guide me to it please? Thanks.

When you're in Write mode, click the little 'Erase Disc' button that's to the left of where it says 'Test Mode' in the 'Destination' box.

 

Or you can do it via Tools -> Drive -> Erase

 

or you can do it via right clicking on the drive selection box -> Erase.

 

The program automatically erases discs when it needs to before burning.

Thanks for that Lightning UK.

 

Edit: Didn't work - the erase I mean. Came up with an I/O error and a whole pile of other stuff. I'm guessing there's a problem with the discs which are Verbatim DVD-RW?

Ok let's start by saying sorry I didn't realise I was sending you a PM, and sorry again if that's what I'm doing now. I thought I was merely posting on an open thread. Other Forums I use have a separate PM function, and as you have noted I have 0 posts that's because I'm new and was finding my way about. Having said that thanks for your help I won't trouble you, or this Forum, again.

That's my generic signature, it wasn't aimed at you.

Hello, allow me to step in here.

I was busy on my other pc and needed a blanc cd-rw on the spot. I only had some with data on it

and cud not find the erase function within ImgBurn. I hardly use this option (=never).

I did check out Tools, but drive was greyed out.

Am always working in the Ez-Mode.

 

 

Nów, after checking the fourm, I know I shd select Write and thén Tools-Drive-Erase.

 

Allow me to suggest: why not have some tools (like this erase one) available in

the ez-mode as well?

Just an idea, no criticism.

 

thanks

ps Oh, I resorted to use a blanc CD-ROM instead.

There is no active drive when you're on the Ez-Mode Picker screen.
