| Guest | Erasing CDR's On Windows Vista Home Premium Can anyone help please? Am doing a bit of housekeeping and trying to erase files on Cd's were I have previously saved information that I dont need anymore. When I load the CD and open the files there is not provision to right click and delete the files. When I queried this with Help and Support Centre it says that to delete files on a CD you look at the Toolbar in the file for the CDR that have in the machine and press the button that says "Erase the CD". This would be great if there WAS such a button on the toolbar. Can anyone advise please as I would like to recyle these CDR's rather than chuck them away |

| Guest | Re: Erasing CDR's On Windows Vista Home Premium Tim, CDR are 'recordable' one time, they cannot be erased, under some conditions they can be 'added' to however. CDRW (re-writable) can be erased and reused. Michael "Tim Garner" <TimGarner@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:26636B28-0EC4-4578-8A70-39EDB7EBA025@xxxxxx Quote: > Can anyone help please?

| Guest | Re: Erasing CDR's On Windows Vista Home Premium To erase all of the files on a RW disc: 1. Insert the CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, or DVD-RAM disc into your computer's CD or DVD burner. 2. Click to open Computer. 3. Click the drive icon that represents your writeable drive, and then, on the toolbar, click Erase this disc. 4. Follow the steps in the Erase Disc Wizard. Note: CD-R discs are not erasable. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tim Garner" wrote: Can anyone help please?
