Hello everyone,

I burned some data on a DVD R/W disc using Sonic DLA software that came installed on my Dell inspiron laptop from Dell. I formatted the dvd disc and burned data which includes pictures, office applications files etc.

Recently my hard drive got crased and I ordered a replacement drive from Dell. Now installing all the softwares again, I tried to read the DVD disc which have all the data I copied earlier. The computer shows it as o bytes. I can not view all the information I burned on the DVD.

Is there any way I can check the data on my dvd disc? Is it related to some issue of making the disc compatible? I am not sure how to get back my important data :frowning:

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Wismer

Guys thanks for the replies.

As for the driver, I have installed all the drivers required. And since the drive play other DVD disc, I believe driver is not the issue.

I will look for IsoBuster as advised by Jeff. I will search for that program on internet. Will post again here and update about that. Right now I am at work so will try that in the evening.

And thanks for welcoming on this great forum. Atleast got some replies to my problem. Keep it up guys.

Thanks
Wismer.
