using? (i.e. on a PC an ISO9660 IBM compatible PC format as opposed 
to Apple/Mac HFS disc or UNIX disc formats which will not function).  

 

Do you have the correct software applications program/drivers installed 
to run a DVD disc?  

 

Has the Windows Combo drive software driver program been corrupted 
by a virus. Run a Virus Scan program and repair if possible. Contact
