Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / April 2005Problem with Cd-RW Drive
For the first time since i got my machine two years ago, my cd Drive won't read blank cd's. I have in the past recorded all kinds of stuff on cd's with the same drive. It recognizes that a Cd-R is in, but won't give me any options and says "D:\ is not accessible, Incorrect function" when i double click the icon. It reads all other types of discs just fine. It's like it doesn't know what to do with a blank anymore. What should I do? Is it something i can fix at home? Are my settings just off little?

Are my settings just off little? In Windows Explorer, right-click the drive letter and click PROPERTIES|RECORD tab, and verify that recording is enabled. If it is not, check the box.

Is that part of the problem? /SmPot/ said: >>/SmPot/ said: >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > I can't find that tab.

Sounds plausible to me... http://kadaitcha.cx/cdr_cdrw.html SignatureFor most XP answers and tweaks... http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm http://dougknox.com http://aumha.org http://support.microsoft.com I have a similar problem. Whenever I put in any kind of burned or burnable CD I get an error saying: D:\ (OR E:) is not accessible. Incorrect function. I’ve looked over the website/forums and have tried everything that seemed like it might help. And I’ve had no luck what so ever. Will you help me fix this problem? Otherwise I’m going to have to do a clean XP Pro install with no backups. Thank you -Chaz First, are you sure that the problem is with Xp and not the CD-RW drive? How old is the drive? You may want to replace the CD-RW drive, since they are most affordable now and it is a lot faster to replace the drive than it is to reinstall XP. >I have a similar problem.

And both of my drives are only like a half of a year old. So I see no reason to buy new ones. Any other sugestions? > First, are you sure that the problem is with Xp and not the CD-RW drive? > How old is the drive?
