The only time a CDRW has to be formatted is if you are using it with packet
writing software (not a part of Vista). Then the disk will appear to act
just like a hard drive, allowing you to add individual files and delete
individual files.
If you use such packet writing software you format the disk through the
utility that comes with such software. You do NOT format using what comes
with Vista.
