Before initiating the erasing of a disc, please insert a recorded DVD-RAM disc into the drive to be erased. Rewritable discs can be erased and re-recorded multiple times. 

Steps to erase a recorded DVD-RAM: 

1. Start up SwiftDisc Burning Wizard. 

2. Choose section: Toolbox => option: Erase DVD-RAM. 

3. Select the drive where you inserted the DVD-RAM to be erased. You can verify the information about the selected device and disc space availability. Press the “Next” button. 

4. Select an erase method from the “Erase Method” drop-down menu. 

=> The “Quick Erase” function erases only the file list. The disc will appear to be empty but the data will not be erased physically. 

Hint: This function should be treated with caution if the disc contains confidential data. 

=> The “Full Erase” function erases the complete surface of the medium. A full erase overwrites each sector and the erased data can never be recovered. The thorough disc erasing will take some time, depending on the media and device speed. 

Note: For erasing confidential data, we would highly recommend you to use the “Full Erase” function. 

=> When you finish selecting an erase method, press the “Finish” button. This will initiate the disc erasing process. 

5. After the actual erasing process has been initiated, you will be directed to the "Progress screen". Please wait until the erasing process is finished. Select a device to review the progress of erasing a particular disc: elapsed time and estimated time to complete the erasing. 

When the erasing procedure is over, press the "Continue" button to start another project, or press the "Exit" button to leave SwiftDisc Burning Wizard.
