JSI Tip 6597. Freeware CreateCD operates on files and folders from the command-line.

-e[rase] Erases disk using "quick" erase. This is what Windows GUI does. It leaves some data on the disk. The technical details are following: The quick option erases only the PMA, first session TOC, and the pre-gap of the first track. This erases a disc quickly (between 1 and 2 minutes depending on recorder speed), but the program area will still contain user data. A full erase, on the other hand, erases the entire disc.

-f[ullerase] Erase entire disc. Takes quite some time. Depending on recorder model it can be from 10 - 15 min up to an hour. The full erase is effectively a full disc burn with 0 data at a highest speed, so the worst case scenario is 74 min for standard disc at 1X speed

-nologo Do not display logo string. Useful for batch recording

-r[ecorder]: Use recorder . If not specified, the first available recorder is used - typically it is the same one as used by Windows

-s[peed]: Use recording speed . If not specified, the fastest speed that media supports is used

-v[erbose] Produce more output. Prints progress messages and percentage done - not good for batch files

-info Print recorder/disk information and exit. Prints recorder model, media type, amount of space available. This option should not be combined with others. The rest of options will be ignored

-eject Eject disk after writing. Default is do not eject

-l[abel]: Set volume label. Default is today's date - Mar 29 2003

-i[mage]: Make disk bootable using image . should be an image of a bootable floppy. In order to prepare an image use a companion utility fdread.exe. Create a bootable floppy as usual. If an image is of W98 EBD, it'll contain all CD-ROM drivers. For now only 1.44MB images are supported
