    Hi! I have a friend that have got himself a used Acer notebook.

    He couldn't read the DVD-player so I tried to help him.

    I tried to install new drivers but that didn't help.

    You can see both DVD-reader and DVD-burner in explorer but there is only one DVD-player.

    In BIOS it says something about USB-DVD. Does this mean you have to use some kind of USB-thing to make it work?

    The notebook have Vista and came from the start from Hungary (if that matters). We live in Sweden.

    Never seen this before, any advise?
