Q&A for How to Format DVD RW

You can click and hold the file, and then drag it to the desired place. For selecting multiple files, you can usually click and drag your mouse cursor over the desired files, which selects them all.

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.

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.

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

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.

In your Windows 10 menu file directory on the bottom icon (if any), select that to go to your drive assignments.

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.

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.
