Hello,
I have Windows 2000 + SP4 for a long time, and finally i want to ask
about that message.

I have one CD writer (Asus CRW-5232AX) on my second ide channel and
reads, writes fine with burning softwares like Nero.

But, when i insert and blank CD-R in to my drive, then if i go to My
Computer - > CD-ROM -> double click on my drive, then i get "Drive not
accessible - incorrect function".

Is that normal? Because i searched all over the net and numerous of
people has that issue with Windows versions.

I have Nero 6.6.0.3 and burning OK.

I just get this message when trying to access with Windows Explorer (My
computer -> CDROM)

Also my CD-RW is shown as CD-ROM in Windows 2000 + SP4.

Please help.

Regards.

Do you have some A-V software like Norton Autoprotect running? That was
a frequent cause of that problem. It also would not let you use the
floppy drive either.

If the CD is blank/empty then it will read as if you haven't put
anything in the drive and you can get this error and a device not ready
error to
