D: is not accessible incorrect function

[Stephen47]

If I put a CD or DVD that has content in my DVD drive it functions normally. If I put in a blank DVD I get a message saying:

D:\ is not accessible incorrect function.

I uninstalled the drivers from Device Manager and rebooted but the problem persists.

You may try the following:

Right-Click on the drive w/ the problem

Properties

Recording Tab

and then check the "Enable CD Recording On This Drive" box.

BTW, I've renamed your topic, so it's more meaningful.

There is no recording tab when I go the properties of the DVD drive.

Can you remove that application and see if that helps?

I uninstalled Gipo and the situation is the same

This problem may occur if the CD recording program from Roxio Easy CD Creator is installed on the computer, and if the version of the CD recording program is incompatible with Windows XP.

Easy CD Creator version 4.x and earlier versions are not supported in Windows XP.
