Richard,
I just discovered that after I upgraded to SP2 of Ulead DVD MovieFactory, it
recognises my new drive and can write to it without issue.
However, I still cannot read/write DVD+RW disk that I saved data on it with
my old Ricoh MP5125A using Windows Explorer of Windows XP.
I tried to format a new DVD+RW disk and read/wrote it using Windows Explorer
like a large floppy successfully.
Can someone advise how I can retrieve the data I saved it on DVD+RW disks
with my old DVD Writer in the past.
Thanks,
Ray
