Mount Rainier
Last modified: Tuesday, March 21, 2006
Mount Rainier is a standard that provides background formatting and defect
management for storage on CD-RW and
DVD+RW. This makes rewritable discs
easier to use and allows the replacement of the floppy. On Mount Rainier
CD-RW and DVD+RW drives you can drag-and-drop files to the RW
disc and the real formatting of the disc is done in the background (invisible to the user). Also,
if there are scratches on the disc the drive will recognize this and will
replace the bad areas.
