How to change a CD's type?

Hello! I have a writable CD and a drive for it. When I first put it into my computer, I selected that I wanted to use it "like a USB flash drive". However, I am now finding out that I would like it to be "like a CD/DVD". Is there any way to change this?

    If the disc is formatted as a "USB drive" (likely using a format like exFAT or FAT32 with a "live" file system), you'll need to erase and reformat it.
