DVD-RW / CD-RW Drive will not write to CDs in native burn mode

I have a P4 system with a Pioneer DVR-104 DVD-R/RW CD-R drive.

When I insert a blank CD, a dialog box appears stating:

"D:\ is not accessible
incorrect function"

I cannot write to the drive with the XP native burn mode. The drive
reads fine, and writes fine if I use media-player or Musicmatch, or
burnquick, but will not work with windows at all.

When a blank disk is inserted, and I receive the above message, the
drive properties are reported as follows:
General:
Type- CD Drive
File Sys- RAW
Used- 0 Bytes
Free- 0 Bytes
Capacity- 0 Bytes

Hardware:
Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104
Driver Provider- Microsoft
Driver Date- 01/07/2001
Driver Ver- 5.1.2535.0

Recording:
Enable CD recording on this drive- Box is checked.
Store image to be written on drive- C:

What is wrong here? Why am I unable to write to this drive using XP?
The drive works fine with other software!
Is there something I can do in the registry to enable XP to properly
communicate and write to the drive?

I hope I have given enough information for someone to analyze my problem
and suggest a solution.
Please HELP!?
