Well. It's my first post. I have DVD RW. When I insert a DVD and try to open it, It says G:/Not accessible.Incorrect Function[IMG]C:\Documents and Settings\K.Maturankan\Desktop\untitled.bmp[/IMG]I have done everything from modifying the registry to updating the driver. Please help.

Does the optical drive show in My Computer or the Bios?
Are there any Yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?

My DVD RW is shown in the bios and device manager. There is no yellow exclamation mark and the properties box show that the device is working properly.

Hey Tyree that fix doesn't solve it.

Hi Thamizhchelvan,

Just for further clarification, can you also provide this information as well:
a) Do you have Roxio installed on your computer?
b) If no Roxio, what burning application do you have installed on your computer?
c) What is your operating system?
d) Are you able to read any normal cd/dvd using your drive?

Please let us know the result in order to help you better

Thamizhchelvan · 08-17-2009, 02:03 AM

a) I have no burning software, either nero or roxio
b)
c)Win XP SP3
d)CDs are read and some DVD are read, But most DVDs (game DVD, movie DVD, Backups) are not read

Did you have the problem before installing SP3?
Try Uninstalling the drive in Device manager. Windows will reinstall it when you reboot.
Sounds like a failing drive. Do you have or can you borrow another DVDRW to try?

Thamizhchelvan · 08-17-2009, 09:36 PM

yes I had the same problem before installing SP3. In fact I formatted the machine a number of times it is not solved.
