Hard Drive wont read DVD+R

chmelina · 04-13-2007, 05:08 PM

Hi. I put some files onto a DVD+R disc and then I put the disc into another computer and the hard drive is not reading it. The autoplay wont even come on and when I go to my computer and double click on the D drive....there is nothing in it....although the files are there somewhere. So, can anyone tell me how to access these files? Thank you

That is a common problem with the + format, many players just can't see them, the only choices are re-burn it to a - format disk, or use a different drive that can read it, this is assuming the drive that wont see it performs properly with other disks, but my bet is that drive does not like the + format, not what you want to hear I'm afraid, but it's what I suspect.

Please repost this along with what software you use (just incase someone may know of an issue) in your own thread, although you may have the same problem, it is better to keep such issues independent of others then you can receive specific help suited to you personally, but take note of my previous reply as this would be my initial reply to such a situation and report if it helps or not.
