JaniceK Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I have used both Quick Erase and Erase to erase a DVD-RW. It always comes back that the disc is successfully erased. When I open it, all the files are still there. How do you erase a DVD-RW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tsantee Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 That's odd. Have you ejected and reinserted the erased disc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JaniceK Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Yes I've ejected it and tried again several times yesterday and today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any reason that Toast reports that it is erased yet the directory is still mountable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JaniceK Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I tried Disk Utility yesterday and that didn't work either. This afternoon I put a different DVD-RW in Toast and it successfully deleted everything. So I have no idea why it won't erase the 1st DVD. They're both from the same box.
