Hi Jim.
I found the following Microsoft knowledge base article that may help you
troubleshoot and diagnose this issue. I'm surprised because if this is a
recordable drive then Windows XP should automatically present you with the
record tab in the drive properties. The only possible explanation is that XP
isn't recognising the drive as a recordable drive for some reason.
Anyway, here is the article, I hope it helps you
some:http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316529

Hi Ibrahim,
To answer your questions, yes I'm most deffanatly on the rom drive in
question. I haven't installed or uninstalled any software in the past month.
The problem started about two weeks ago. All that is showing up in the
properties list for the rom drive is general, auto start, hardware. Very
strange or what? Any ideas? Also I have done a restore and this hasn't solved
the problem. I'm totally baffled now so any help will be appreciated.
Regards.
Jim..

Hi Jim.
Are you sure that you have highlighted your cd or DVD rewriter drive? I'm
using an XP machine and can find a record tad when I go in to the drive
properties. When was the last time you wrote a cd or DVD with this computer
and when did you start experiencing the problems?
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim,
Well I have done as you suggested and I don't have a record tab on the
tab line, only general and hardware. Maybe this is because it's an xp machine,
as it's present on my vista lap top. Have you any other ideas or as anyone on
the list any suggestions as to what to try now?
Thanks.
Jim.

Hi Jim.
If you've had cd and dvd burning software on your computer and removed
it, its possible that windows native cd writing support has been disabled which
would explain this problem. You need to do the following to enable windows cd
writing capability:
Firstly, go in to my computer and press alt plus enter on your dvd or
cd rewriter drive. Next, find the recording tab and ensure that the box to
enable cd recording is checked. Press OK, you may be required to restart your
system but you should find that you can now access the cd drive when recordable
disks are inserted.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi all,
I have the following problem on a desk top pc. When I put a blank cd
or dvd in the rom drive, the computer doesn't recognize that the drive is
present and the following message appears, "D drive not accessible, incorrect
function.". However, when I put a cd or dvd in the drive with data on them it
shows up in the pop up window that allows you to explore your files on the
disk. I can do a copy cd to cd but not from the cd to the computer or the other
way. Anyone have any suggestions on what my pc rom drive problem is and whether
it can be fixed?
Thanks.
Jim.
