    This is a dual layer dvd+r 2.4x 8.5gb data disc. I used this awhile back and save alot of data to it. Now I am trying to use this data. My PC is not reading the dvd. It says that its blank. Is this a PC problem or is there a certain program I need in order to get this data back. All help is well appreciated. Im running windows XP with a cd-rom and a dvd writer/cd writer.

    Have you tried reading the disc in another drive maybe a friends laptop or nieghbors desktop? The problem could be anything from a corrupted data stream on the disc to a failing drive. While I have had some drives that wont write to a dvd dl, I have not found one that wouldn't read it.
