    What do you expect when you put a blank DVD into a DVD-ROM?

    The DVD has no data on it - so how can the ROM recognise or read it.

    Naturally if the DVD contains data, the ROM will recognise/read it.

    Formats - or + have nothing to do with the equation.

    If it's really old it could jsut be that you need to booktype the +/- to DVD ROM.

    Where? does a screen just pop up and says "700 mb free"? And you are talking about ROM right? as in a dvd player.

    I know it's in your comp ,but it is a DVD ROM right? No burning, just reading.

    YES!!I KNOW!! Of course it reads games and movies, cause that's what a DVD ROM does.

    A blank disc is as good as not having disc in there at all (unless you're flashing firmware). I haven't had a blank ever read, I don't know about you. I don't really know what you are asking? I've already answered the original question in my previous post. Read back a few post.
