Erase a multi-session CDRW
Authored by: jpcuzzourt on Jul 21, '02 05:23:12PM

After making a multisession disk (Using diskcopy only since that works for me), I can't get diskutility to erase the CDRW. It complains that the volume doesn't dismount properly. I suspect this is because the CD gets mounted as 2 or more volumes. Anybody duplicate this? Anybody successfully erase a CDRW?
Thanks for the Hint. Should work fine as is for CDR!

Erase a multi-session CDRW

I think I figured it out, somewhat. I can erase if I uncheck the Quick Erase option in Disk Utility.
When a quick erase is attempted, only the volume created by the first session gets unmounted.
Of course, doing a long erase takes a while on a 4X CDRW disc.
