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.

Why you can not use the whole memory of CD ROM or hardware?

When you put a CD into a computer, you must format it. When formatting is done on your CD, you will notice it has less memory on it then what it is supposed to have. This is because the computer puts "formatting files" on the CD. These formatting files are essential to using a CD with your computer. They tell the computer where on the CD to put your files, which helps keep them from getting corrupted (not working/usable).

A 700 MB CD-RW can hold approximately 700 megabytes of data, which translates to about 80 minutes of audio or around 200-250 standard-quality JPEG images. The actual usable space may vary slightly due to formatting and file system overhead. CD-RWs can be rewritten multiple times, unlike standard CD-Rs, which are write-once.

A CD/DVD, visual. As the CD is filled a brighter silver band radiates from the center. The thicker the band the greater the use. Floppy or hard drive, check the formatting. For pre-formatted drives there are diagnostic tests that can determine previous use.
