I formatted a 700MB CDRW using windows formating function and it formatted it to UDF. But it reduced the size of the disk to 530MB! Is it possible to erase the format and get the CD back to 700MB? My OS is Vista x64. Thanks!

Hi,
The CD is formated to replicate a a hard disk, that is why the space has been lost.
You will need something/ software to errase the disk again windows cant do it.
What third party software have you got installed for writing CD's? As this is what you need to errase the disk!

Thanks but I already did it the easy way. Under Computer, I right-clicked the mouse, selected Erase and it cleaned up the format!
