Disc Drive Invalid Action Error

Locked

by tennis15 · about 15 years, 3 months ago

I have a desktop with a DVD/CDRW drive labeled drive D. I’m running XP. If I put a ‘manufactured’ disk in the drive – like a game or software application, etc. everything works fine. If I put a blank, writable disk into the drive I get the error “D:\\invalid action”

I’ve tried going through the my computer, etc. and am not able to open. Ultimately I’m trying to copy files onto the disk but the I can’t even get the computer to recognize the disk in the drive. This does not appear to be a problem with the disk (and I’ve tried a couple just to be sure) but with the drive and/or XP.

Please advise.

Thanks!
