Can't Format Dvd-RW? (Windows 10)

Hi,

There is no reason to format a DVD with the exception of a DVD-RW that has been previously written on...

The DVD gets "Formatted" as needed in the burning process...

Are you trying to burn something to the disk when this happens, trying to read it, or what ?

Most DVDs are used as a "Write Once" disc and can't be used again...

Windows now has a process that will allow adding files that may require a type of formatting for it to work...

If you right click on a file, select "Send To", then select your CD\DVD drive, you should see something like this...





You want to select the bottom setting for the CD\DVD drive to burn normally...

If you are trying to burn a ISO Image of Windows Installation media, you will need a specific program to do this... I'm pretty sure that none of Windows built in burning features will do this...

They might copy the ISO to the disk, but it would still be a ISO...

Like a ZIP File that was still zipped, just as an example...

You can burn anything to a DVD +\-R that you can burn to a DVD-RW...

The only difference is that the RW can be erased...

Some computers have difficulty booting from a DVD-RW Disc..

Let us know exactly what you are attempting, and we can probably give a better answer...
