Hello

Since there is new version of MorphOS i'm planning to update system. I have CD-RW but it have session already. I tried to erase this CD-RW, but cannot find erase option.

So question is how to erase CD-RW discs?

Just updated my emergency CD and this is how it went:

- Drop ISO on Jalapeno
- Start "Burn"
- Jalapeno scans for media
- Jalapeno realizes it is already written
- Jalapeno offers "erase" / "cancel"
- I hit erase
- media gets erased
- Jalapeno goes back to offering "burn"
- I hit that
- burning starts

That's weid idea when someone just want to erase CD-RW. It should be available as option somehere.

Alternate way: Jalapeno is only a frontend for some UX-Progs located in Mossys:Data/Jalapeno. These progs can also be used seperately from a Shell.
To blank a CD:
MosSys:/Data/Jalapeno/cdrecord blank=all Erases all on CD and takes a while. You may use blank=minimal (for only PMA, TOC, pregap)
cdrecord finds the CD-Drive itself - no device-entry required.
MosSys:/Data/Jalapeno/cdrecord -help shows you all comands
MosSys:/Data/Jalapeno/cdrecord blank=help shows you all blanking options

What do you need a blank CD-RW for, if not writing something on it?

There was erase cdrw tool in cdplayer package from Itix.
