415902	2005-12-26 23:59:00	I have Windows XP SP2 and both my CD and DVD drives have (and have had for some time) the following problem: If I reboot my system with a (commercial or home burned makes no difference) CD in the drive, Windows recognizes the CD. But the moment I eject the CD, it will no longer recognize ANY CD (not even the one that was in there in the first place). The net effect is if I want to use a CD then I have to reboot with it in the drive. Otherwise I get the error: d:\ is not accessible incorrect function What I have tried already to fix the problem: 1) Uninstalled all CD burning software 2) Disabled Norton and MS Antispyware 2) Checked and unchecked and then checked again the Enable digital CD Audio for this device box in the devices properties tab. 3) Uninstalled the device drivers and let Windows XP detect them and reinstall the drivers. Other pertinent information: I have a dual boot system with Redhat Linux and both drives work fine there. The two drives are: Lite on LTR 52327S and Samsund DVD ROM SD 616-F	dlmalcolm (9480)
415903	2005-12-27 02:43:00	d:\ is not accessible incorrect function [/QUOTE] This is usually caused by a software conflict. Knowing what software was installed before the problem occured would be helpful. Do a Google search of the error message. There is quite a bit of info out there.	Davesdad (923)
415904	2005-12-27 02:47:00	This message can also appear if you try and open a blank cd in my computer, in XP. Disable XP's burning and use something like Nero for burning.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

415906	2005-12-27 05:31:00	yeah I have done quite a bit of research already. None of the solutions seem to work. The above things I have tried all were all from "fixes" that were found online. The reason I turned here was because I am all out of ideas. As to the question of what was installed before, I used to have Nero and InCD software installed but removed them sometime ago. Also another peculiarity I forgot to mention before is that when this first started happening I could "fix" this problem by rightclicking on the drive in a browser and selecting "eject" and then selecting "load" and then the CD would be recognized after the tray went back in, but at some point that stopped working and now if I "eject" my drive like that I dont even get the option from the right click menu to "load" anymore...it still says "eject" even if the tray is out. As an aside, I have no trouble burning CDs using the iTunes software, though it is not burning I really care about (which incidentally is what the lions share of the info about this problem on the web IS concerned about). I just care about getting XP to recognize my drives, which, as I stated before seems to be a Windows issue because Red Hat sees them fine.	dlmalcolm (9480)
415907	2005-12-27 05:41:00	the drivers. If I reboot my system with a (commercial or home burned makes no difference) CD in the drive what happens if you boot without a cd in the drive? u also may want to try doug knox's fix, not specifically for your problem but if your upper and lower filters are damaged/corrupted it may help, u never know. www.dougknox.com (http://www.dougknox.com/) under winxp utilities www.dougknox.com also do you, or did u have any roxio software apart from the xp cd burning utility installed?	bartsdadhomer (80)
415908	2005-12-27 05:54:00	well I tried the Doug Knox fix but to no avail. When I reboot with no CDs in the drives then they become fully functional retractable tie racks :) I believe there may have been a time when Roxio was installed but that has been long uninstalled as is any other CD related type piece of software. I agree, the reading I have done online does seem to point to a software conflict with XP but I can't for the life of me figure out what I might still have that is causing the problems	dlmalcolm (9480)
415909	2005-12-27 06:24:00	Maybe it is time to try a "repair install" from the XP CD.	Terry Porritt (14)
415910	2005-12-27 06:54:00	have u tried a system file check? start>run>sfc /scannow (have xp cd in drive if it works) have you tried system restore? a "repair install" can "sometimes" fix problems and is worth a try otherwise i can see a full format coming up	bartsdadhomer (80)
415911	2005-12-27 22:00:00	I've seen this problem before, and it's usually a problem with the CD player / DVD player, not the Windows install. I'd suggest beg / borrow / steal another to see if the problem goes away.	kingdragonfly (309)
