Burning a CD

I am trying to burn a CD using the instructions in the
help and support pages. I put a blank CD into the drive,
find the file I want to burn. When I tell it to copy Iget
a dufault Messag: F:/ is not accessible
incorect function

I have check the driver for this drive and it says that
this is the latest and functioning properly.

Help Thanks Bill

You have to burn to cd, you can't simply copy to the disk. What software are
you using to burn your disk...?

Drag the file to the CD drive letter. Be sure that recording is enabled.
Right-click the drive letter, click PROPERTIES, then the RECORD tab.

If you are using the XP built-in burner, be aware of its limitations.

Had a similar problem several days ago when i updated my firmware for a DVD
burner which had worked fine until the update. All the messages were the
same as yours, it just had no recording tab shown, meaning Windows didn't
'see' it as a recordable drive, just a cd-rom device. (error messages were
incorrect function etc, same as you got)
Rather than a registry edit, which according to Microsoft knowledge base was
the way to fix this, i went into the Device manager in Control Panel and
'deleted the drive' in there, rebooted and let WindowsXP re-detect it and it
came-up perfectly..
As the other person said, it could also be a Roxio issue which is
acknowledged by Microsoft, but i would try the 'delete' first...

Use something like INCD or DirectCD.

XP's built-in burning sux. As it doesnt support
packet-writing, or formatting of CD's.

Disable XP's builtin burning. That'll fix it
