There is no such thing as a Blu-ray DVD, they are exclusive video technologies. It would be like saying why can't my toaster teapot boil water?
As to why your computer cannot read blu-ray discs, it is because it doesn't have a blu-ray reader installed. The same reason your old CD-ROM drive couldn't read DVD's. Just because it fits, doesn't mean it has the capability to play it.

What kind of DVD player will play HD DVDs?
To play a high definition DVD, you need a high definition DVD player. There are two types available currently. HD DVD, developed by Toshiba is one and BluRay, developed by Sony is the other. They are not compatible, so an HD DVD will not play on a BluRay player and a BluRay disc will not play on an HD DVD player. BluRay looks like it is the winner in the format war between the two companies over the last years so it is likely that Toshiba's format will disappear in the coming months. Note that HD DVD can refer to the Toshiba format but it can also refer to high definition DVDs in general.
