Formatting a disc means you are permanently erasing all the data on the disc.
you can clear the data from a write only disc by formatting the disc
It depends on the software program, compression utilities and formatting.
Although formatting the disc reduces the total capacity, a 1.44mb disc will store 1 mb
A new rewritable CD, or CD-RW, may appear to have no usable space after formatting due to the way the disc's file system is structured. During formatting, the disc is prepared for data storage, but this process can reserve some space for system files and error correction, reducing the available capacity. Additionally, if the formatting process includes creating a specific file system, it might further limit the space available for user data. As a result, the reported usable capacity may be lower than the total physical capacity of the disc.
RW discs can be opened and explored in windows just like a hard drive. Deleting the content or formatting the disc will 'unburn' it, readying it back to its original state.
No. Formatting a disc creates a file structure that data will be written upon. However it is not necessary to format a CD or DVD, the file structure is burned onto it at the same time as the data is written.
Dear friend, you can consult the following link for partitioning the Hard Disc. It can serve you the necessary lessons,http://boddunan.com/component/content/article/34-hardware-a-troubleshooting/3730-formatting-hard-disk.html?directory=3
Most likely a defective file system. Try re-formatting the drive.
When you delete a file on a filesystem all that is really done is that the disk "forgets" where the data is stored. It remains on the disk until it is overwritten. Formatting is a more technical term than most people understand. A common misconception is that formatting is simply deleting all data on a disc. In fact formatting is more of a "reconfiguration" of the disk. Formatting is the process where a system of data storage is applied to the disk. As a bi-product of this the system which remembered the layout of the origonal data is replaced and therefore the data inaccessible. It is however a common feature of most formatting tools to physically destroy the data as part of the formatting process.
Unfortunately , You cannot change it after formatting. You can only use another disc instead. Raghav Anumasa
I'm afraid you can't do anything. The mistake you made was in formatting it after you unfinalized it. By doing that you wiped everything on the disc.
