Cannot burn a CD in Windows XP.
When you try to copy files to the CD drive on your computer (and you know the CD (or DVD is blank) you may receive:
D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function.


Go to the Drive letter in Windows Explorer (or My Computer) "right click" on your CD (or CD/DVD drive)
Click on Properties > Click on Recording; Click (ad check mark) by
"Enable CD recording on this drive".

If it was already checked You can try right clicking on the drive listed in Device Manager and clicking "Update Driver" Let Windows check the Internet.

If that does not work and you have Norton Anti Virus or Symantec Anti Virus - try the following:

Go to Symantec.com and search for "drive is not accessible. Incorrect function.

Check out the link below:
Microsoft's support site - may be helpful - warning - does involve editing the registry - use caution - at your own risk.

If none of those work - Go to your favorite Search Engine -

etc.
