his drive must be a combo drive i.e. DVD-Rom/CD-RW. There is NO software that enables a cd drive to read DVDs as it is a hardware limitation.

this is just not possible .. u can bet with ur frnd on it.

 

[suhasingale]

No Way MaN u cannot chage ur hardware capabilities using a software.

U cannot read a DVD disk onto a drive tat reads CDs as the formats jus dont match buddy....It must be possible tat ur friend must be using a COMBO drive..

Neways (on the lighter side of the matter)..jus bet with ur friend on this matter and win a cool Rs.100/- (for winning the bet..)

Cheers n e-peace...

are you sure it was a DVD? cuz sum guys jus make VCDs with a lil better quality and make it look like a DVD...adding menus, making the DVD logo on it, selling it in a rectangular box

Nah cd rw drive cannot read a dvd under any circumstances as both use laser of different wavelenghts.
DVD's use red laser at 650 nm whereas CD uses 780nm semi-conductor laser(source:wikipedia).
So, I think your friend is lying. Its either a cd or he's got a combo-drive.

Only if there had been such a software all the digit dvds wud not have been lying around in my home uselessly...

Ha Ha Ha

 

[AcceleratorX]

Even if such a software worked, the DVD would appear in the drive as an unreadable CD because the laser is simply not capable of reading those discs.

 

[atool]

just to use Digit dvds i had to install dvd-roam....
