If it's a CD-R, you can't reformat it. The data is permanently burned onto it. If it's a CR-RW, it can be formatted like any other media in Windows; right click on the drive in Windows Explorer and choose format.

You can't actually reformat when it's off. You'll need to power it up with a bootable CD or floppy disk which has the format command available.
