Hi here
i have problem with my sony dvd drive as it does not read some dvds though all this dvds work at my friends house.when i insert my dvd,"my computer" simply states blank disc and under the heading "type" it always shows CD Drive.
pls inform where i can find the drivers for my drive on net.
thanx
Try to run these dvds on windows vista on your computer.it will work i have also this problem in past some dvds on my sony AW-G170A drive read some dvds but dont show their content then after a while i upgraded to vista and all those dvds work fine on my same dvd rom.
This is not a perfect solution but you will be able to read the dvd's. firstly you need to install a software named "imgburn" after installing that software, click on "create image file from disc" and it will create an image file of the dvd onto your computer...and also you can directly open that image by downloading another software named "daemon tool" which will open ur image files directly... njoy!!!
May be your Dvd Rom have Region problem! Many Dvd Rom/Writer have the region settings. There are 5 regions. The Dvd which you are running may be restricted in this region. Your friend may have region free Rom. Try to make your Dvd Rom region free. Try here....

my sony DVD RW DRIVE does not read some dvds problem, this is especially in respect of game dvds.... when the disc is inserted it does not show anything thereon... just a blannk disc..
why this happens and whats the solution...
reply ASAP
Thank you!!
i cannot play some dvd disc in my dvd drive,some dvds wok fine but cannot read some dvds. These dvds run fine on my friends computer.
I'm pretty sure I have a Registry problem with my DVD player on my PC, as it now only plays "some" of my DVDs and not all of them, and I've tested them all on a proper DVD player, and they all run fine!
I'm not exactly sure why they won't run anymore, but my DVD drive tries to run them, and gives up eventually after about 30 seconds on the DVDs that it no longer wishes to run...
I actually have "two" DVD drives and it's the same on both of them, (for the same films even), so it's got nothing to do with the hardware side, just the software! All of my DVDs are Region 2 as well, so it doesn't make any sense!
Does anyone know how to reset / restore the registry or format my DVD drives as if they were brand new again? (or whatever you have to do), as I know for a fact that the hardware is fine!
Thanks for your help...
