Often there are situations when a user of a personal computer cannot write any information to a DVD-RW or CD-RW disc. This problem most often occurs due to a missing format operation.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - disk.
Instructions
Step 1
There are several ways to format a disc on a personal computer. As a rule, the computer operating system has built-in hardware that allows you to easily format any media that is in the computer's drive or connected via the USB port.
Step 2
Insert the disc into your computer's drive. Then wait while the system performs automatic scanning. As a rule, there are times when the user must independently go to the "My Computer" folder. Next, find the disc name that corresponds to the disc inserted in the drive. For example, it can be called like "Disk H" or something like that.
Step 3
Next, right-click on it and select the item called "Formatting" from the context menu. This operation allows you to completely format the media. It is also worth noting that all information from this disk will be completely deleted. If you do not have any data on it, transfer them to another medium or to a local disk of a personal computer.
Step 4
You will need to wait a few minutes for the system to fully format the disk. As soon as the operation is completed, the system will notify you about it. Also, do not forget that discs of this format can be formatted and rewritten a large number of times. However, statistics show that it is not worth using these types of media more than three times, since then the information is recorded with various errors, and the disk surface is very badly damaged.
Step 5
In general, we can say that formatting a disc on a computer is not difficult, since there are all installed tools for performing such an operation. Even a novice user can handle it.
