Do you have a DVD drive?

the zone is good I use power dvd, the problem is not there, I think that my lg dvd rom might be unable to read those dvd. I have tried 2 lg dvd rom on 2 different computer (windows XP) and both are unable to read, in fact the error message comes from windows who says :

windows cannot read from this disk. it might be corrupted...........
