Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.

Micorsoft do NOT include DVD playback software with XP, so you need to install a DVD player program. Media player will use the codec in the installed software for playback.

I used VLC player which is free: GPL, I think it plays VOBs out of the box. Any program like power DVD etc will also do.

This is not a fault with your drive or your computer. Remember you can only set the region code for your drive a few times, it is usually 3 times on Sony's after this the drive is locked in to that region.

Hope this helps.

Short answer - Yes

Long answer - Yes it will see it no problem

I concur with Roger having tried it in W98se before fitting it to an XP machine.

Whats peoples views so far on this drive, personally I think its rubbish.

Quite often fails to see discs, I have no such problems with a Panasonic drive I fitted to another machine
