    continuing backup dvd needs to be formatted?


    Continuing backup dvd needs to be formatted? I continue DVD Backup (System 7) on laptop with Win10 64. Backup asks for a specific DVD from the previous backup. I insert it and then the program does not recognize it and asks for a blank or to format the current disk. This seems wrong. Should I format the current disk? Will this compromise or erase the existing data? Out of frustration, so far, I have chosen to stop the backup.

    :)

  2. backup protected dvds

    I want to create backup copies of my favorite DVD collections and I tried Nero but it said that the DVDs are protected. I tried looking for another software and I found this list of DVD copy software that claimed to be the best for copying protected DVDs. I need a feedback from someone who has tried using any of these software before I'll buy one. I just want to make sure so I can burn my DVDs and not my money. If you have any other suggestions or recommendations I would really appreciate it.

  3. Format Un-Writable DVD.

    Hi Roger,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    To have better clarity on the issue, please answer the below-listed questions and get back to us.

    1. Is your disc a Re-Writable DVD disc or a Writable disc?
    2. What is the name of the disk?

    A Re-Writable DVD disc is a compact disc that can be written, read arbitrarily many times, erased, and written again.

    If you are using a Re-Writable disc, then follow the below steps to erase the contents of the disk completely.

    Note: Erasing the contents of the disk will delete all the data that is present on the disk, so please backup the data before erasing the disk.

    Make sure that your drive has the ability to write DVDs, otherwise, you won't be able to erase, reformat, or write new data the disc.

    Step 1: Insert the DVD into your DVD drive and in the
    Autoplay
    dialog box, click Burn files to disk using Windows Explorer. If you don't see the dialog box, click the
    Start button, click This PC, and then double-click your DVD drive.

    Step 2: In the Burn a Disk dialog, type a name for the disk and choose a format for the DVD. There are two different formatting options for rewritable DVDs.

    • Click like a USB flash drive if you want to use the Live File System format. These discs can be played in computers, but not in most DVD players. Use this format if you want to back upfiles on your computer. Files will be burned to disc
      as you add them.
    • Click with a CD/DVD player if you want to use the Mastered format. These discs can be played in CD/DVD players, as well as in computer DVD players. Use this format if you want to playmusic or video from your DVD. Files will be burned to
      disc all at once, when you're done adding them.

    Step 4: Once you've selected your formatting method, the drive will prepare the disc. This may take a few moments. After it's finished, you'll be able to start adding files to the disc.

    Give it a shot and let us know of any changes.

    formatting dvd wondows 10

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

    I would like to inform that only a Rewritable DVD can be formatted. To format a DVD/RW, follow the steps below:

    • Insert the DVD/RW in the DVD drive.
    • Open This PC (Windows key + E).
    • Right click on the DVD drive and select Format.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
