I have an onld DVD drive (about 4 or 5 years old) from times when there were no DVD-burners and no DVD-Rs and +Rs and stuff. So now a friend of mine got a burner and burned a DVD-R for me.
Unfortunatelly my drive doesn't read it!
Is that normal? Can the old drives usually read those "new formats"? Could a firmware update do anothing to it?
Thanks for help.
By the way, it's a LITEOEN DVD-ROM LTD122
