I just started getting this error the other day, so i searched around and have exhausted any and all software related resolutions for this error. It seems to have started ever since i moved the machine from PA to VA but everything else works just fine. It started with my cdrw drive, then my dvdrw did the same thing, so i changed ide cables, jumpers, reseated all cables, reformatted, disconnected one drive at a time. yet i still get the error on either drive. i can read retail discs fine but when it comes to reading blank or burnt ones, i get random write errors and then "incorrect function" on a blank or burnt disc even if it burns ok with no errors.

The inbuilt burning system often gets turned off when installing third party software that might conflict. Look in My Computer | Right click the drive, and select "Properties" | "Recording" tab...and see if "Enable" is checked. Also, check in Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services...for the line "IMAPI CD Burning", and see if the Service is started | If not, double click it and set the "Startup type" to Automatic...click Apply and click the "Start" button.
Also read up at...http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.htm on what the inbuilt burning does, and more important what it doesn't do.

i ran the utility with no luck.
it also seems that iso files burn just fine.
however, reading blank cd-rs/dvd-rs i still recieve incorrect function.
i also still get random errors when burning music/data discs.
this is the worst error i have ever gotten.
