Can a dvd be formatted?

Question

DVD

The thing is, I want to install windows on a dvd, but the files are already there. Is it possible to format this disk somehow and burn the image of the shinda?

Answer 1

If the disk is RW, then you can overwrite it. If it's normal, then no.
In any case, installing Windows on DVD is a so-so idea. Windows needs access to write files, but it won't get it on DVD.
But you can burn the image to DVD.

Answer 2

This is possible on the basis of not ordinary windows but winpe, here is an example of an instruction, but there will almost certainly be problems with installing drivers that differ from the standard ones (especially with video accelerators)
based on winpe, various resuscitators did, where an almost full-fledged windows with a ton of utilities was launched from dvd and for recording, RAM was used
-----
there is still a chance that you can prepare a working system, and when you start it from dvd, copy it to a ram disk and everything will work from it, I remember exactly how winxp was launched, but something more is already a problem, since this requires a lot of RAM
, read it, it seems like win7 was launched here, I don’t think there will be a problem with the older version
