    recently purchased a fujitsu laptop with this toshiba SD-R2212 drive. it will not recognize any of my dvds, most of which are burned with xcopy express. it will recognize data disks without any problems. when i check the properties for the drive it lists it as region 2, says i can change it one more time but when i try to change it i get an error messege

    unable to update region setting. please make sure the drive contains region 1 media and you have admin privilege

    i've checked that i have admin privilege and i don't know what to do from here. any help would be greatly appreciated...

    How fast are you burning the movies and on what type of disks?
