Hello,
This is my first post on this forum, and it will probably appear to be a dumb one, but here goes. I am running Windows XP Home, and I have successfully burned and read many DVD+R disks on my computer. I know that the DVD drive and laser are working properly, because I just checked a DVD+R that I burned several months ago, and it reads fine.
Yesterday, on a friend's computer (a Dell) also running Windows XP Home, I burned a DVD+R disk. After burning it, it worked fine on my friend's computer, but when I try to read it on my PC, it won't work. The files that I burned on it are JPeg images, and they appear perfectly on his machine, but they will not read on my machine. When I load it on my machine, it acts as if there are no bytes on the disk.
The only difference is that the software used to burn the DVD on his machine is different from the software that I use on my machine to burn DVDs.
What's going on, and is there anything that I can do to read the DVD on my machine?
Thanks,
Louis
