Hey there, firstly thanks for looking! Here is my issue,
I recently got a DVD burner and burnt a back up of all my
documents onto a DVD as a Data DVD then took it to my
friends house to transfer some files on his comptuer - XP
would not read the disk saying "Windows can not read from
this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be
using a format that is not compatible with Windows". So I
thought it might be his DVD Burner. Anyhow, he burnt me a
disk of some of his files that I needed, I brang home his
disk and put it in my drive and I got the same error
message. Both DVD's work on their native computers but
not each others? Why is this?
 
im not entirely sure cause im not that experienced with DVDs but i have seen
two different types of DVDs out there. DVD-R and DVD+R maybe you and your
friend are you two different types of DVD recording.
