How do I format DVD+RW?

Subject line says all - makers say Fujifilm, Philips both 120 min 4.7 Gb. Annonying thing is I did format some a few months ago & now nothing like format on any menu I can see on eg Win Explorer from XP SP2 or Nero 7 Ultra. Makers DVD RW web sites very bewildering.

 

Some call it simply Erase Disk

 

tried both from My Comp no format or erase menu selection - panel just says its file system is RAW & to think I did format once upon a time - use it or loose it (tried on my laptop XP SP2) no joy either

 

Taking a guess ...
You have Nero 7 Ultra, which comes with InCD.
InCD and a properly formatted CD/DVD allows you to "Drag and Drop" files to CD/DVD as if it was a floppy disc.
IF this is what you did, you will need to load/run InCD, insert previously formatted DVD and choose an option to erase / remove format.
Once this is done, you can close InCD.
Let us know and members / myself can provide suggestions for writing files to your DVD-RW without using InCD ... a program which can be a difficult to live with.

MEMO
You may need to terminate InCD from running processes. Once loaded, it likes to stay resident after you closed program view.

 

Many thanks will give that a try - why is such a simple essential task so difficult....? easy with xp Pro?

 

Good Old Nero 6

Loaded subject & then got InCD4 to work on a stack of 25 DVD + RW yes they all were quick formatted & now ready for use Many thanks for Info on InCD4 & to think I deleted it because I hadnt used it for a long time
