Everytime I insert a CD into the E:\ drive I get "E:\ is not accessible, incorrect function". What does this mean? For me it means not being able to install what I need to. It properly displays the CD in the drive and responds to everything, but opening the contents of any CD.
Thanks for any advice,
Mike

Had a similar problem with a clients machine where the A:\drive also was not accessible ,incorrect function, I checked back through system restore to ascertain whether any software had been installed / uninstalled and it turned out to be a de installation and reinstallation of Nero. I again removed Nero with errors and reinstalled the software. Problem fixed.
