Dell DVD drive is not reading burned DVDs
I got a DVD that a friend burned but my drive does not read it. Lots
of error, all consistent. It's the first time I've tried reading such a disc The drive is identified as "HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B" and came on a Dell 4600 last November. Who makes this thing? Is there any known driver update that may allow it to read burned DVDs? I have no problem with production DVDs. Thanks, Bruno

Is the burned DVD in a format your machine can read? And what is on the
DVD? Some copy protection does this. -- Steve Williams "Bruno" wrote in message ... I got a DVD that a friend burned but my drive does not read it. Lots of error, all consistent.

Actually, it is able to show the main directory and copy some of the folders or files. But it does take about 20 seconds to show the contents after inserting the DVD, whereas a production DVD shows very quickly.
