Vanbursta Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Can someone please tell me how to erase a BD-R AND wipe the volume label? I can erase the BD-RW O.K., so I don't need instructions for that part, BUT Imageburn seems to keep the old volume label, when I erase the BR I would like to reset the label to [empty] IE the label will be nothing. I have trawled through all the settings but can't figure out how to do this. Maybe I am being a bit thick? Also it would be nice in a future version to have a seperate menu just for erasing / formatting disks. - Pretty please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 You can't erase a BD-R, it's 'write once' media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanbursta Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 You can't erase a BD-R, it's 'write once' media. Sorry my mistake, I did of course mean BD-RE and NOT BD-R (which I know is unerasable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Well there's only a quick or full erase. Quick just writes zeros to the first 1024 sectors. Full erase will tell the drive to perform a 'full format' operation on the disc and will (assuming the 'prefer properly formatted discs' option is left enabled in the settings) then write zeroes to all sectors on the disc. There's no way ImgBurn should *still* be displaying the volume label for the disc (when in Read mode) after that's happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanbursta Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yes you are correct (sort of), Imgburn is retaining the volume label even if I switch to another mode, The volume label will change if I eject the disk and load it again - strange, it seems to happen with all BD-RE disks and also with DVD-RW too. Not really a big problem just a minor irritation really, I am so happy with Imgburn I have uninstalled all my other burning programs and now only use Imgburn - and I've donated too!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Do you have anything running in the background that could be caching this information? I don't think your issue is related to ImgBurn at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
