Can't Copy to CD

[jimbo]

I posted this message to another news group, but have gotten almost no
response. Maybe this group can offer some help?

Thanks for any help, jimbo

I have somehow lost the capability to copy files to a CD. WinXP SP2

has always been able to select files or folders, and copy to a CD. Now
there is no option to copy to CD. If I select a file to copy and then
try to access a CD to paste, I get an error message window with the
mnessage: "D:\ is not accessible Incorrect Function".

There is nothing wrong witrh the drive because I have used CD

burning software to burn iso images to CDs.

Any help will be appreciated, jimbo

Here is more detail on the problem. I select a file to copy and click
"copy". then I go to My Computer and click on the CD drive and click
paste. A window pops up with a message to insert a blank CD. I insert
a blank CD and then nothing happens. I know the drive is OK because if
I insert a recorded CD in the drive it shows the files. And I
regularly use this drive to burn CD iso files to CD. and I used the
same CD to sucessfully copy files to CD from another PC. (I am not
trying to re-use that CD.)

Heeeelp! What is going on? I still suspect that some functionality has
been inadvertantly turned off.

Check that the CD-RW drive is set up to write. In My Computer, right
click on the CD-RW drive and select Properties, Recording Tab and check
that CD recording is enabled. It should be there by default but it’s
worth checking if you're having problems. If it is not there go to
Device Manager, right click it and uninstall it. Reboot and let
Windows find and reinstall it. Now check again that CD recording is
enabled.

Also, try Start, Administrative Tools, Services and find IMAPI CD
Burning..... and start it running.

Thanks for the help. I uninstalled via Device Manager and then
rebooted and let WinXP reinstall. Everything is OK now.
