This happens on all my devices running windows 10. I am trying to format a CD-RW (Ive also tried DVD-R) using windows' built in format function. I need to "Format it like a USB Drive". Whenever I try to it goes for like 5 minutes then says "Windows was unable to complete the format". IVe also tried using the right click format method, and I've tried going through devicedisk manager. Nothing seems to work. Ive triedverbatium, memorax, and a couple of other disk companies. It seems like an undocumented problem but nobody even seems to have heard of windows' formating option. Thanks for any help. Ive included an image of the popup.

error Popup Image.

I also want to mention that it says "Quick Format was not an option!" when I try quick Format. IDK what that means... Lol
