erase cd help ..!!
 

i need to know how to erase the cd from command mode.
i am using mandrake 10.0+KDE.

i have the cdrecord command in my linux box.

i read man page ...there is no help.

or any other good cd erase command..please

Hello

I found this:

CD-RW: I have had very mixed results trying to record to CD-RWs. CD-R media has become so cheap, the added expense and unreliability of CD-RW makes them generally unnecessary. cdrecord can erase a CD-RW using the "blank=fast" option to erase the old content. Read the man page to learn more about the other options available to erase a CD-RW.

cdrecord -v -force blank=fast dev=0,0,0

Haven't tested it myself, I'm currently working on "the other system" ;-)

sir after erasing the cd ..i have this problem..


Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
/dev/hdc: Invalid argument
mount: /dev/hdc: can't read superblock


i can not mount the cdrw after mounting mounting the cdrw by cdrecord.

You erased it. You need to record stuff on it first.
