Formatting CDs

CD-RW disc.

1. Insert a blank disc.
2. Double-click My Computer.
3. Right-click on the CD-RW icon.
4. Click Format.
5. Type the title of your disc in the Volume Label window. The disc name can
be up to 11 characters.

check box.

completed.
8. Click OK when the format finished box appears. You can now write
information to the disc.
Note: Normal formatting will take from 4 to 45 minutes, depending on the
