Windows 10x64 Home Not Recognizing a DVD+RW Disc

Hi: I have several important files (mostly documents, spreadsheets, etc.) that I want to store on a rewritable DVD. When a DVD+RW disc is inserted in my DVD RW Drive (D and click on it with FileManager, windows is telling me that it can not read the disc in drive D:/ and prompts me to make sure that the disc uses a format that windows recognizes and that the disc must be formatted. So, my first question is: how to determine if my RW disc is already formatted noting the above situation? Second questions is: How should the DVD+RW disc be formatted, if that is required, what file format structure, NTFS? I am attempting to make use of some TDK DVD+RW discs (e.g., as if they are USB thumb drives). I want to be able to revise the file content and then write-over the existing stored file that is on the DVD+RW disc. IOW, use the DVD+RW disc as a RAM. I've read elsewhere that I should open AutoPlay: So, in FMgr, I right-clicked on DVD RW Drive (D and then clicked Open AutoPlay; but nothing happens. Please help. And, any suggestion to continue this in some other sub-forum of tenforums.com would be appreciated. TNX. Edited: I noticed that "Format" is not shown as an available choice after right-clicking on the DVD+RW icon; whereas each of my other drive devices do offer a "Format" choice. I found several DVD+RW discs here that were previously written to, a long while ago. Each of these discs give me the same error message as an unused disc. It appears that formatting of the disc is not the real issue here. I am now thinking there may be something in OS or driver that is the root cause of my problem. The DVD+RW device hardware is TSSTcorp&Prod_DVD+-RW_SH-216DB, and is using a Microsoft Driver Dated 6-21-2013. Device Properties > Device shows "This device is working properly.". So, I ask for suggestions on troubleshooting.

 

PATA DVD Drives do not burn RW or RAM discs

I have a weird issue with all my drives.
I have:-
Lite-On 20x DVD RW
ASUS 16x DVD RW
LG 16x DVD RW

All recognized as RAM drives but none of them burn on to DVD RW or DVD RAM properly.

Would this be to do with the discs or the drives themselves.

I have been using Sony DVD-RW discs and DVD-RAM discs to no avail.
