Error: D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function

[onauc]

Hello,

The following is my laptop spec:

Technology TL-60
1.99Ghz, 1.87BG of Ram,
Physical Address Extension
Matshita DVD-Ram UJ-860H

Windows XP Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

Now, whenever I insert a cd on my Matshita DVD-Ram UJ-860H, it shows this error message:
"D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function".
I experience the same whenever I insert a blank dvd rw.
However, if the dvd rw is not blank then I am able to see the contents of the dvd rw disc without getting this error.
What is wrong ?

On my Windows Registry, I have 24 instances of this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
and on more than one of then the "Upper Filter" exists therefore I am unable to decide which one's "Upper" I should delete to see if the problem gets fixed or not.
I have seen on many forums others experiencing the same and getting advised to uninstall Roxio but I don't think I have it or the Nero because I can't find them on my Start-> All Programs.
And, I don't think that, me not having a cd burner software is the problem because like I mentioned before, I am able to see the contents of a dvd disc inserted on my dvd drive providing the disc is not empty.

I have seen the following solution mentioned on the internet:
"Got to the Drive letter in Windows Explorer
and right clicking on it. Go to Properties; Click on Recording; Check "Enable CD recording on this drive".
But the problem is, I can see only this much on my WinXp SP3:
Windows Explorer-> DVD-Ram'
and after right clicking on it -> Properties; but there is no "recording" tab.
Therefore, I cannot check the "Enable CD recording on this drive" option.

I am really stuck now ! Can some techie specialist help ?


On MY Computers, it is showing up as:
CD Drive (D:).
Now, if I right click this and click "properties" then it shows-up as:
Matshita DVD-Ram UJ-860H.

I tried copying a file from my C: drive onto it but the same error message. I think I was able to copy files from my C: drive to this cd/dvd drive before. I also can't find any cd/dvd burner softwares on my laptop. I think I uninstalled everyone I had a few weeks back for some reason. I'll try installing these burners now and see how things go. Now, which burner do you recommend ? It must write to cd-r and dvd+rw discs.

Thank You

From the info given, my only initial guess is that Windows is using the wrong driver, and thinks your drive cannot write to disks. You can go into Device Manager, right-click the drive, and "uninstall". I can't guarantee that will actually uninstall the driver... Windows is pretty annoying about that sometimes.

Have you tried updating the firmware, or at least downloading the newest driver? I Googled for that drive model but couldn't find any links to sites I trusted enough to try. I did find your identical question spammed on a dozen different forums, though... That kind of muxed up the results of Googling, which didn't help the search. You could try the manufacturer's web site, but you didn't list the laptop manufacturer in your post.
