Direct CD not accessible.

[Double U]

I get the message "E:\ is not accessible. Incorrect
function." whenever I try to copy files to CD. CD drive
works for burning audio CD's. Any suggestions are greatly
appreciated.

I had exactly this one about a year ago and it drove me nuts. Eventually
I remembered that I had updated the motherboard Bios since last burning
data. I rolled back to the previous Bios and everything worked. I
realise that its extremely unlikely that this is the cause of your
problem but if you have updated any Bios/firmware recently it might be
worth rolling back just to eliminate the possiblity. All the best.
