CD-RW Formatting in Ubuntu?

['Forum Post]

Most of the burning applications allow for a "blank CDRW".  I have
gnomebaker in hoary and it allows for that.  You can also go to a
terminal and use the following command:



cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc speed=10 blank=fast padsize=63s -pad -v -eject



You may have to change the "dev=" line depending upon your device
designation and you can change the speed number if you wish. 
"blank=all" will give a complete format but takes some time.
