2. Double-click the System icon.
3. In the System Properties click the Hardware tab.
4. In Hardware click the Device Manager button.

6. This should expand and display each of the drives installed in your computer. Double-click the DVD drive you wish to change the region for.
7. In the Properties window click the DVD Region tab.
8. Within this window you should be able to change your region code and also be able to see how many changes remaining you have on the drive.

If this is a Windows computer. Make sure that you have the proper drivers installed.
Is the disc scratched? that could also be an issue.

The audio cable from motherboard to your DVD drive got definitely damaged, change it. If problem exists change the lens of your DVD drive, also install up-to-date driver for your audio device.

Try changing the drive letters through right clicking my computer, clicking manage, then drive management on the right, then right clicking on the drive, and clicking change drive letter.

if you used your drive for 2 years then change your drive it is the simple problem of hardware you want to change it now

The factory says that you cannot change the drive from a CD drive to a DVD drive yourself. Although you can physically make the change, they indicate that the motherboard needs to be modified or changed in order to switch from CD to DVD. That's why they get $400 to make the upgrade. They don't provide any parts to do this, either, because I'm sure it wouldn't be a trivial change.

how to be dvd region free..in hp laptops..more ever all three chances of changing regions is over i am sealed...

This is not a feature of the Mac - this is a feature of DVD-ROM drives and is part of the DVD standard.

DVD-ROM drives, once changed 5 times, can NOT be changed.

The only solution would be to purchase an external DVD drive, and set IT to region 2, and leave your internal one set to region 1.

The region settings are legal issues with the DVD standard - the 5-time limit is permanent, hardcoded, and unchangeable.
