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.
