If I put a CD or DVD that has content in my DVD drive it functions normally. If I put in a blank DVD I get a message saying:
D:\ is not accessible incorrect function.
I uninstalled the drivers from Device Manager and rebooted but the problem persists.

Have you right clicked on the DVD drive when in My Computer and Select Properties and enabled the recording tab since you reinstalled drivers in Device Manager yet?

I don't see a recording tab there.

here is a screen shot of the properties of the drive.

One of these may help:
1. Uninstall the drive through Device Manager.
Restart computer. The drive will be automatically reinstalled.
or...
2. Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
Restart computer.
or...
3. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer.
or...
4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:
- ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
- ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.

Are you sure that you are using a disk that is compatible with your drive? The different kinds are dvd-r & rw, dvd+r & rw, and dvd-ram. Not all drives support all formates so you need to check your drives documentation on what types your drive supports & compare that to the disks that you are trying to use. Also you might have gotten a bad batch of disks.

Yes I am using a compatible disck I burned Windows 7 to one of them
I tried all the methods suggested with the same results: D:\ is not accessible incorrect function.

I don't run Windows but my next step would be to go into bios and see what it says about your DVD drive.

The problem is sort of resolved. I found that I am able to burn a disk if I start the burn program before I insert the disk.
