Incorrect Function

[confus-ed]

..nonononono!!!!!

Before we go further - a note on 'internet diagnosis' - its REALLY DIFFICULT ! - we can only be as 'smart' as you can describe it - try & be calm with us & we'll do likewise - what you want to do your pc {& possibly us} though 'relieving of frustration' may not be the best thing

i can see that there is a cd inside but i cant open it..... i can write with my CD-RW but not read... i dont think its because of any cables, i cant even read digital camera memory cards or virtual cd-drives..... aaaaaaargh.... im getting mad with my pc....

Vitual drive s/w may be the culprit, now you've mentioned it, that introduces a proprietry 'burn' driver to your system & very often also replaces a very important file called atapi.sys when installed, I'd suggest that removal of any virtual drive s/w & checking that atapi.sys is digitally signed are probable next steps (replace from your windows cd if it isn't using sfc) ..

I had this about 2 months after installing a TEAC CD-RW, the mapped drive would disappear (E for the CD drive that you put a CD in and clicking on the remaining drive (D would say "incorrect function"

I fixed it by re-installing the IDE controller drivers for the motherboard, which was an EPOX (I think) with a VIA chipset.

EDIT: Funny moment, just re-reading the thread and where it should say open brackets ( D: close brackets) there is a smilie! Love Technology, love it ta bits!

Some via chipset drivers will fit on a floppy disk, or span the latest Hyperion onto two disks with PKZip or WinZip and then extract them on your pc and install. No need to wait for internet on yours.

Incorrect Funtion, I've seen this problem on my brother's computer before but I haven't gotten it fixed yet. The drive can still read CDs and DVDs, except certain ones. For those certain DVDs, when I click on the DVD drive in explorer, it would pop up the Incorrect Function message and I wouldn't be able to access the DVD. I've updated the firmware but it hasn't work. I popped the DVD disk into another DVD drive on the same computer and it worked perfectly. I was thinking maybe it was just the drive that couldn't read it.

Brother's Computer DVD drives:
AOpen DVD (older model)
AOPen DVD (next model) (working one)
