I use Win XP Home SP2 on a Pentium 4 laptop with CD burner QSI DVD/CDRW
SBW-161. Recently, I've been unable to burns CDs with WinXP, Nero 5 or
CDBurnerXP Pro 3.

Problems related to WinXP are:
* when I put a new (empty) CD in the CD drive, Windows Explorer shows
drive F:, but clicking on the drive results in an error message "F:\ is
not accessible. Incorrect function." But other programs (eg, CDBurnerXP
Pro 3) can read the CD and confirm that it has no data on it and 700MB
free space. Why this message in XP?
* when I try to copy files (photo images) to a CD using XP, the same
error message appears. Why?
* about 2 years ago, I disabled the Win XP CD burn feature by setting
'Startup Type' as Disabled in Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services >
IMAPI CD burning. I've now reset it to Automatic, but still no the above
errors occur. If this is likely to be the problem, is there anything else
that I need to do to enable CD burning?
* a search of the MS KnowledgeBase brought up article 892346 that
discusses a CD burning error (for which a hotfix is available) that can
occur "When you set the NoViewOnDrive policy for the system drive". I
don't know what that means -- is it likely to be the cause of my problem
and should I apply the hotfix?

Very grateful for advice or help on any of these points.
