Question

Do I need to format a DVD-RW to use it?

Community Answer

If it's new, it should already be formatted and set to go. You can format it after several uses to clear the data or change format options.

Question

How can I format a DVD disk like USB in Windows 10?

Community Answer

If you computer has a DVD port, you can just put it in there and it will come up as a file. If you have an external DVD port just plug that into the USB port.

Question

How can I copy an ISO file from hard drive to a DVD RAM disc?

Aditya Telang

Community Answer

You need not copy the ISO file. Just use a DVD burning software to burn it onto the disc.

Question

What do I do if my system does not recognize my CD/DVD and it wants me to format it?

Rudy Toth

Community Answer

You don't need to format a CD/DVD at all. It doesn't work that way. If you were using a diskette "floppy," then you would need to format that before large capacity usages.

Question

How do I check what files are on a DVD RW disc?

Rudy Toth

Community Answer

In your Windows 10 menu file directory on the bottom icon (if any), select that to go to your drive assignments. On the left side panel, select with your mouse to open "THIS PC" and below is a list of connected drives. If you have an outboard external drive connected to your computer it is usually labelled as a E:\ drive. Select that drive and it will show you what's on that disc. You might need to write this down for a future reference.

Question

The "format" command has disappeared from my computer menu even though I inserted a blank DVD-RW. How to recover the format command?

Rudy Toth

Community Answer

You don't need to "format" a blank DVD-RW disc. It is ready to record non-copyright items on the disc. The only devices that need to be format, before use, would be those diskettes. Erase is the word for record over what might be already on that RW disc.
