. . Thx Howie.

Thanks Howie?? Well, that's good of you, gesc, but can't javaMan

get a little love around here? ;)

BTW, I buy all my stuff here in the good 'ol USA, but those manuals are usually in Chinese too, if you know what I mean. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17021028 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 15:49:13 EDT Re: Can't read DVD+R 16X http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018476 Psicop : ASUS A6Q00VC.

I just found out my machine doesn't have a DVD+-RW dual layer drive, hence can only read DVDs. Well, time to upgrade my drive.

Thx Howie.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018476 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 05:14:24 EDT Re: Can't read DVD+R 16X http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018475 Psicop : Not sure about that as I brought my laptop in Taiwan and the manual is in Chinese. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018475 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 05:13:32 EDT Re: Can't read DVD+R 16X http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018464 howie :

Are you sure the drive is DVD writable? Many drives can write and re-write CDs but are only DVD-ROM.

I agree... If it's called a "combo" 24X CD-RW/DVD drive, then it can write CD's but only read DVD's. Do you have the model number?

Older drives weren't always dual format. They either worked with -R or +R. If -R doesn't work, -RW most likely won't work either. If it's suppose to work with -R's, then see if there is a firmware update. Drives may need an update to read newer disks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17017317 Mon, 02 Oct 2006 22:44:50 EDT Re: Can't read DVD+R 16X http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17014073 javaMan : Are you sure the drive is DVD writable?

I was wondering if I'll have the same issue with DVD+RWs (2X and/or 4X) as I need this format to back up all my data.

Could anyone shed some light in here, please?

Thx.
