How Do I Reformat A DVD-R Disc?

  • 0

I bought a pack of Verbatim DVD-R 4.7 Gig cd’s. I used some of them, and then stopped using them for a while. Then I tried copy a few files on to one them, but it could not copy. I looked at the properties of and noticed that it had 0 free space and 0 used space and that the file system RAW. Can anyone advise me on how to fix this? Thanks

    1. Sorry, you cannot Format a DVD-R disc….a DVDRW, yes, no problems. It looks like your DVD burner might have stopped recognizing -R for some reason, especially if you used them before…maybe the DVD burner is going south.

    2. Do they show raw on other computers? If so I suspect they went bad.

    3. If you haven’t got a DVD burner program you might wish to consider this freebie which is very good:
