I have the original cd rom that came with my xp. When I put a cd in and
click on the D:\drive I get the message D:\drive not accessible (incorrect
function). When I check the manager it says that it is fine. I am currently
in school so access to the drive is important for many of my homework
projects. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

Drive or media may be damaged or dirty too..?

Maybe your CD i corrupted. try it on another computer

Try The Windows XP TweakUI powertoy to disable the autoplay feature on the
CD/DVD drives, may be part of the problem..
Tried it myself and Nero InCD now sees my DVD/CD-RW media as Pink instead of
solid blue, DVD/CD-R is seen as RAW or blue as I would expect since
disabling the inbuilt, your results may vary..
Hope it can help
cheers
