| My DVD drive is suddenly saying its not accessible when I try to access it through "My Computer" and i've no idea why! If i stick a disc in it'll run the program fine, if I stick a blank cd or dvd the little logo denoting the drive letter recognises what sort of disc it is, I just cant dbl click on it to access the drive! Anyone got any bright ideas? |

| Try going to Device Manager, right click on the drive and Uninstall it. Then reboot the machine and windows will automatically reinstall it and the driver ..... if it's a Windows glitch, this may flush it out.

| I found a fix, hope this helps!! I am running XP Professional SP2 and then SP3 My dvd drive worked great until sp2, I read installing sp3 would fix it, it did not. Then I tried to delete the upper and lower filters, nothing. I tried uninstalling the disk drives, nothing. I tried changing the values in the HOTKEYS, nothing. I always got "Drive:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function" After searching for days on end to find a "fix" for not being able to write data to a blank dvd without software I came across the reason. Windows XP, for some messed up reason, did not support dvd writing. But now as of July 23, 2009 they do. This is the first thing I have found to work. You must install two things KB932716 and Windows Feature Pack for Storage. Both found on this page in the first box. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...57(VS.85).aspx I hope this puts an end to most peoples suffering like it did mine. :) |
