Help with DVD Burner and XP

[Guest]

I have beat my head against the monitor on this one. When I try to access a
DVD burner with a blank CD, I was able to drop files in and just burn. Now I
put in a blank CD and try to access it, I recieve the following error. G:\not
accessible incorrect funciton. I read many different solutions, nothing
worked. They all stated I shoudl go to the properties and select the burning
tab and check the box for burning software. The properties does not have this
tab. I have updated the firmware, and removed all burning software. Any Ideas
how to get out of this funk... thanks in advance.
PS I was able to burn with the thrid party software.

Windows XP does not natively support burning CDs using a DVD player...
only CD-R/CD-RW players. In order to burn a CD using a DVD player,
you'll need a third-party program, such as NERO.

It's the Recording tab, not the burning tab.
