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.
