Cannot read DVD'sConfiguration:
I have a Sony PCV-RX202 with a DVD Rom and a CD RW drive. I replaced the CD RW drive with a DVD RW drive but when I try to read a DVD it doesn't recognise it as a DVD. Both drives will play an audio CD. I have tried the DVD drive as master and as slave but I still cannot read a DVD. I have treid going back to the original config of DVD Rom and CD RW drive and now even the DVD rom cannot read DVD's. I tried re-setting the BIOS but that doesn't help. It seems as though the system is seeing the DVD drives as CD drives. Another strange fault is that I cannot restore my system under Windows Xp because there are no restore points (there was previously). Anyone know what I have done wrong please? Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP home edition
CPU/Processor : Pentium 4 1800 MHz
RAM : Actual:256 MB

Remove all CD/DVD drives.
Boot the system.
See if all is fine.

Now shutdown the system and connect any one drive.
Boot the system. See if all is fine. Now shutdown ...

Repeat the process till you have connected all your drives to know where the problem lies and tell us so we can help you decifer the exact cause.

Windows 2004 SP4 or later, and Windows XP won't read DVD discs with certain DVD drives. My old DVD-ROM doesn't read any DVD disc under Win XP SP1/SP2 and Win2000 SP4. I later tried WIN2K SP1, and it worked perfectly fine.

Use a DVD lens cleaner and it should be fine.
