Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable BlankEnclosed in the shipping package with my OptoRIte DD0401 I found an = unidentified DVD disc. Since I am in the "practice" phase of using this = device, I am, or will be experimenting with DDVs -R,+R, -RW and +RW. Not = wanting to invest in packages of all types, I would like to put this apparent = "blank" to use. I don't even know which is top or bottom. It will not read in the drive = on either side. The PC acts as if the drive is empty. This disc is = silver on one side, but more colorful on the other. Blues, reds, greens, = yellows, etc. strongly reflect from an ordinary lamp light reflecting on = it's surface, more so on one side. Is there a way to determine if this is a CD [not likely, if shipped with = a DDV drive], DVD +,- with R or RW?
