Mine is a 52X Hitachi/LG CD-RW and of late, it is functioning rather erratically...the symptoms are the same as those of the drives owned by the guys whose posts precede mine! Of late, there's been another problem...it opens Explorer all right, but whenever i open a subfolder, or try to copy a file or somethin', this is what I get....
Cannot access/copy X : Invalid/Incorrect MS-DOS function.
Must be a problem with the RW...the file opened up quite nicely on my friend's PC...must mention that he's got a 6-year old Creative Infra 24X CD-ROM.
Any help will be very much appreciated!
PS : I'm using MS Win XP + SP1....says that the drive's functioning great....damn!

Go to task manager, and kill UFD.exe .
Now you see drives in explorer again after F5.
UFD.exe is usb flash drive driver/program with interesting side efect.
I hope this will work, it worked for me (same symptoms).
adio, sika

In my case anyway, I had recently purchased a Micro Advantage Quick Drive. ( A USB flash drive.) It worked fine but caused all kinds of problems with my CD-RW/DVD Rom drives. Once I uninstalled the Quick Drive software all of my problems with my CD Rom access went away.
So if any of you have a Quick Drive or similiar flash drive it may very well be your problem....
Good luck !!!!

I uninstalled the Microadvantage Drive tools, and rebooted. I have full control of both drives. I will keep testing and see if I can get it to break again. Let's hope not.

check for caddy bushes size ,try putting a peice of paper beneath the caddy bush be carefull with da lens and alignmet, lastly wipe the drive
mechanism with a cloth and put some white silicon grease on the drive
shaft. reassamble the cdrom try it it usally works 97 percent of da time
please be carefull with the flat wire and other power supply wires.

I wondered if it was something to do with me updating to aol 9 or maybe i installed something with my new MD player which you connect with to a USB, first time i done that, it built new drives but cd drive failed to respond days after i installed MD player software.

got similar issues here. All me CDs were burnt with a recent Sony CDRW. I have now switched to a NEC DVDRW and Sony DVD drives.
All Cds read and play fine..... its just I get this annoying :"Cannot copy'wotever':invalid MS Dos function" error message.
I got told its gotta do with scratches (errr all CDs appear to be intact...) or the laser head alignment or wotavya.
Well, all in all, it sucks.

I have the same problem. I am trying to fix a Toshiba laptop for a friend. Everything works fine except if I put a cd in the drive it says "please insert a disk in drive D:". The drive seems to work, the light comes on and the disk spins around and device manager reckons it works but it won't read the disk.
If I just click on D: I get the message straight away but if I put a disk in and then click it waits until the light goes out until I get the message.
I have tried uninstaling the drivers and restarting. The D: drive turns up again but still doesn't work.
I can't find a dma button to uncheck in cd properties and I don't know how to take my drives off of DMA in bios. Windows help reckons this machine does not have bios but has EFI instead. Whatever that means. Toshiba setup on the other hand reckons it has bios version 1.20.
I am getting nowhere with this, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I have been pulling my hair out tweaking, uninstalling Nero, Virtual Drive, Virtual CD, ASPI version levels, etc., etc., to no avail. Just as soon as I saw Chris' note about the MircoAdvantage Quickdrive it all came together as to when and what caused my WinXP Home Ed. to stop working properly with any of my CD and DVD drives. For one thing, the software eject from Windows Explorer was one of the first things I noticed did not work. Over time everything mentioned in this thread/forum came to be true for my system. Just as soon as I removed the QuickDrive tools from my system and rebooted all is working correctly now. So, who cares if I do not have the tools to encrypt my "thumb drive" data. When I think of all the time I have wasted trying to figure this out and get it corrected the amount I saved with MicroAdvantage does not seem worth it anymore.
Thanks, Chris, for the revelation!

all i had to do (being i had 2 extra computers around the house) was take the CD-Rom drive from the old ones (parts computers) and replace. i shut down and restarted computer and windows auto-detected a new hardware(cd-rom drive) and whallaaa! back up and running.
NOTE: all cd-roms are basically the same so you can replace any CD-rom drive with any CD-Rom drive.

Just do as it says in this link, then restart and... that's it!
