Afternoon,

I formatted a DVD for RW like a USB Flash Disk as Windows does when you insert a new DVD. Now I need to be able to write other data to this DVD from my Rocky server, but I’m unable too, which leads me to this question:

How do I mount the DVD for RW so I can add additional data or just be able to use it for both OS?

Located Here:

```auto
$ lsblk

If you used Win10 cmd line, show the exact format command that you used. Otherwise, insert the DVD to Win10 and try  
`chkdsk d:`  
and post the full output

In addition, clarify the exact type of DVD you are using, e.g. DVD-R, DVD+R

Since the writing of the DVD, I have replaced the bare-bone system Windows with Cachyos and move Windows to a VM. My Rocky Lab server does not have a CDROM. Is there any other way I can get this information?

My Cachyos has the CDROM now.

I was written to a memorex DVD+R.

Have you tried `sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt`?

Are you sure it is a DVD RW and not a DVD RAM? DVD RAMs have dashes on the bottom.

UPDATE: I converted my old HP Privilion 23 from MX Linux to Windows 10, and it will be used a cosmetic system so to speak.

Thanks for your help!..
