How to format a blank CD - RW?

I am running windows Vista and when I insert a blank CD - RW in the drive it does not generate a pop up and there is not any menu option to format the drive. How can I solve this problem?

He worked previously, but the option seems to have disappeared and I haven't added anything to my machine just the updates of windows.

You should be able to launch the automatic playback screen
On the point of... Start / computer... right click on the drive letter
for the drive, the CD - RW is in and the menu...
choose... AutoPlay.

No guarantee... but if you're comfortable editing
the registry, the following article may be worth a visit:

Proceed at your own risk *.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before editing the registry)

    How to format my HARD drive for your help thanks.

    Hello

    I don't know what you want to do exactly. HARD disk can be formatted before installing original recovery image that you got with your machine but also if you want to install the version of the OS.

    If you created the recovery disc you can format the HARD drive by using one of the available options (erase the hard drive) - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm
    In the case you want to use the installation of Microsoft at the beginning of the installation disc disc HARD current will be shown. You have the option to delete existing partitions, create new partitions and install the Windows operating system.

    Please let us know what you want to do exactly.

    But remember that nothing is definitively deleted; only the 'flag' to where the files are located is removed.

    Then install the own.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  • How to format a computer. Please explain to me in detail.

    How to format a computer. Please explain to me in detail.

    Hi Adam,.

    It is difficult to provide a targeted and response detailed when you have not provided any details yourself, but I suspect a generic tutorial will do.

    Try this series of videos that should help you: http://www.ehow.com/videos-on_5600_format-computer.html.  Start with the first and do them all to be sure because I am not sure of your reasons (or your operating system or how you setup or what you do or don't have not available (disks, backups,...).)

    I hope this helps.  If this were not enough, and then provide additional details yourself and we will do our best to provide more specific information, required to your situation.  What operating system?  Why are you in shape?  What are you trying ultimately to do (there are several options of format and in some cases that may involve or not drive that is bootable)?  What you are (your system drive, an extra drive, an external hard drive, flash player,...) of formatting?  Do you intend to partition the drive or having a single drive?  You have all disks restoration and installation needed as well as all the drivers you might need on disk or to a flash drive?  You have a backup and, if so, is it a full backup or full backup of image?

    Good luck!

  • How to format my laptop Hp DV6

    Hello

    Can you please tell me how to format my laptop Hp Pavilion Dv6 I have Windows 7 on it. I also see a partition recovery on my computer option.

    My system has a root virus inside. Whenever I Boot scan my computer I see a lot of viruses. I tried to remove it too anti-malware and spyware. But I can't get rid of it. Using spyware last week, I lost all the files in my system. Then I had to use recovery software to recover all my data. My friend suggested me to format my computer. Will it be useful?

    Please guide me...

    Formatting the hard drive of your laptop is not a good idea. Ask your friend if he intends giving you a real legal DVD of installation of the operating system on your laptop.

    Please identify your laptop / pc with more than the number of series. Look at the basic/back/side of the pc/laptop to the sticker with barcode. Post numbered items 1 and 2 on the next image.

    Display the version of the operating system installed (and either 32 or 64-bit)

    Are you able to still use the internet?

    What are you using to scan your laptop computer for viruses, etc.?
