see if there's an update firmware for the dvd drive that'll enable it to read dvd+rw!

buy a new one.

the reflective properties of dvd+rw discs are different enough to not be read by the majority of players and drives out there. like my 6x DVD drive for example. luckily that drive can still read dvd+r

Its kinda like cdrws its where for some reason my creative 48x couldn't read it but the creative 52x can.... Thats a reason why I never liked cdrws to begin wiht and why are they making drives with 32x or 24x when the media is impossible to find?
