Unless you want to delete every file, one-by-one, yes!

When using a re-writable CD, must it be erased before re-recording? There is an exception to total erasure, if packet writing (UDF) is being used - not available via the built-in XP burning utility. With this method of writing, the disk is first formatted, then it acts similar to a large floppy.

With UDF, you will be prompted, if you attempt to write a file with an
existing file name. /b11_/ said: But can I write over an existing file or must I erase the existing file first? __________________________________________________ __________ "Yves Leclerc" wrote: On 28/05/2006 b11_ wrote: When using a re-writable CD, must it be erased before re-recording?

Suppose the file name is different. Can I write over an existing file which
has a different file name or must I erase the existing file first? __________________________________________________ ___________ "dev" wrote: With UDF, you will be prompted, if you attempt to write a file with an existing file name. /b11_/ said: But can I write over an existing file or must I erase the existing file first? __________________________________________________ __________ "Yves Leclerc" wrote: On 28/05/2006 b11_ wrote: When using a re-writable CD, must it be erased before re-recording?

Re-writable CD
If the names are different then the first will not be overwritten. If you want to remove the one on
the disk it must be erased first. -- Dave Vair CNE, CNA, MCP, A+, N+ "b11_" wrote in message ... Suppose the file name is different.
