Welcome to the HP Forums!
Thank you for posting your query on this forum, it's a great place to find answers.
I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to know how to format a write protected disc.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
If it's a DVD-RW that's been finalized, then you can't make changes to it. However, you can erase it (not format it). This will wipe everything off the disc making it like new. So copy the files you want, erase it, then you can rewrite the stuff you want to it.
Hope that answers your question and you have a great day!
If you wish to show appreciation for my efforts, mark my post as Accept as Solution. Your feedback counts!
Cheers!
