I click on start. Go into my computer, and right click
the e-drive. I want to format the disk, but the format
selection does not come up. I am using Windows XP Home
Edition. Why will it not let me format?
 
There's no reason to format a cd.For a hd,open cmd-prompt
in tools,type:FORMAT E: /FS:ntfs
or type FAT32 if thats youre poison.
 
A CD, once written to, cannot be formatted and used again. Only a CD-RW can
be used in this manner. A new CD-R does not require formatting.
