I have a Windows 2000 Server that has a CDRW drive available as H:and is =
not part of a Domain. This server is a standalone machine. If I try to =
access the CDRW drive I receive a dialog box that says, "H:\ is not =
accessible, Incorrect Function". The user account that is being used is =
Administrator. I have look in the local policies and have not found any =
indication that the drive is being disable through a policy, but that is =
not saying much because I am not sure that I am looking in all the right =
places. Does anyone know how this restriction to the CDRW could be set =
and how to re-enable the drive?

I doubt it is a problem with security configuration if the user is =
indeed an administrator as shown by the command net localgroup =
administrators. I would use Event Viewer to look in the system and =
application logs to see if there are any error or warnings recorded that =
may be related and give a clue. Also use Device Manager to see if there =
is a problem with the cdrom and examine it's properties. It could also =
just be that the drive is bad and in such case I just try to swap it out =
with a known good drive to see if the problem persists or not. Make sure =
you have a known good cdrom disk in it and not a DVD disk when you are =
trying to access it and also try booting into Safe Mode to see if that =
works. Below is a KB article link that mentions the error you receive =
but it applies to XP Pro but may be worth looking at anyhow. --- Steve
