D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function.

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

Debbie bought a nice new laptop a couple of months ago, for her online exam marking.
Tonight, for the first time, she needed to burn a CDR. Each time she put in a CDR, the error “D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function.” would appear.
Microsoft’s support pages suggest that we’ve installed an incompatible version of Roxio [...]

After showing a great capacity for fuss in the Sainsburys petrol station, Steve drove us up to Stoke — rather a long way — to watch Leamington beat Biddulph; or that was the intention, having thrashed them 5-0 when they came to Leamington.
We braved Stoke’s long [...]
