I'm praying someone on this forum has run into this problem in the past and solved it. My DVD-ROM drive will not recognize a DVD movie. I get the 'cannot recognize format in drive G:' This goes for every DVD movie I rent, etc. However, my friend brought over an old DVD (1996) of the 'Wild Bunch' which has a disk burned on both sides (A&B) and it works just fine. Power DVD opens up and I can play the movie! DUH. I flashed the firmware to v. 2.06. I checked on the net and this drive is locked (RPC2). Is this the problem? All the DVD's I've rented have been region 1. I downloaded and executable file to unlock it, I guess, but I'm not sure this is the answer. This problem is so strange and no one has run accross it before. Please help me out here. Thanks.
