Hi, My friend had given me a DVD+R disk that was readable on the Toshiba SD-R2102 drive on my laptop. So I went ahead and bought a Plextor 504 UF DVD+R writer. But none of the DVDs I created were recognized by Toshiba SD-R2102. I contacted Toshiba Support, Plextor, and Compaq (the laptop manufacturer). All of them said that this DVD drive does not support DVD+R. How is it able to recognize the DVD my friend gave me? He said he had not done anything special while burning the disk. He has a Pioneer DVD burner. Is there anything I can do to make the disks readable? I cannot return the drive since I bought it over 2 months ago and have been trying to figure out a way with (obviously) no success. Sigh! Please, please advise me on what I can do. Thanks, Suresh.
Oh yes. I forgot to mention. I tried finalizing the disk but that didn't help either. Oddly enough, it works on my standalone DVD player, but not on my laptop. I have heard of queries where disks are unplayable on stand-alone drives, but well... guess I'm lucky! Thx, Suresh
