Hi Katherine, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

Here are the steps you can follow to format your E: drive. Please note that this will remove all files on the drive, so make sure there's nothing on there you don't want to lose.

  • Go to File Explorer (Windows Key+E)
  • In File Explorer, right-click your E: drive and select Format...
  • Enter the settings you'd like, then choose Quick Format.

Hopefully this helps! Please let me know if you need further support! Thanks!

    Hi Katherine

    Can I presume that is an optical drive (DVD/CD)/

    If so, what type of disk are you trying to format is that a re-writable disk?
