G'day everyone
We have a question from Ray today about his Burner
--
Hi <everyone>
I have not been able to get along to the meetings lately. I have been crook. I hope I may be able to make the next one. I have a problem which I wondered if you or any of the Mullies have struck?

I am running Windows XP Home. I had some problems and had the computer serviced. It is now OK except when I go to write to the Drive E (the burning drive) I get a message:

"you do not have permission to save in this directory. See the administrator for permission. Would you like to save in the My Documents folder instead?"

If I put a new disc in the drive I get a message:
"E:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function"

I have checked the administrator function. I am the administrator. There are no guests. I have never had a password.
Grateful if anyone has any ideas

First off - sorry to hear you haven't been well. Hope to see you this week at Mullies - and YES I will be making my return now Entertainers has finished.

I think I have an answer for Ray but in the "Give a man a fish or teach a man to fish" vein I should tell you how I came by it.

One word - Google!

The answer to everything - ok nearly everything - can be found on the Net and I find Google the best search engine

When you have a problem just write down the error message word for word and type it into Google

I did and came up with:

http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-31391-getting-E-is-not-accessible-Incorrect-function-message-on-an-external-burner.html

A person there posted they were having the same problems as Ray - someone replied:

I had the same problem and recently cured it by going to the Drive letter in Windows Explorer and right clicking on it. Go to Properties; Click on Recording; Check "Enable CD recording on this drive". If it wasn't clicked before this will probably do it.

So give that a go Ray and let us know if it works

Cheers - see you Thursday!
