it is highly unlikely that a hard disk is write protected. secondly it is possible for an administrator to block users to access or write on hard disk areas. if you are the admin, you have to most likely format the system as it seems to be a virus with special privileges.
always backup all critical data as there is an imminent risk of system crash as the virus is likely to destroy the system slowly by corrupting data & also stealing information by restricting access.
Write-protection has nothing to do with playback. Playback only requires the ability to read the discs and decode them. If you cannot play a DVD, make sure the disc is clean and undamaged, and that you have a DVD decoder program installed.
NO, DVD rom can only read DVD discs.
You can use DVD shrink 2.3. This is the only version that will work because it is old and does not comply with the copyright laws. Just make sure you only use it for personal use.
Ok DVD-ROM is not in your PC its in the front. Well you know what a DVD is but ROM stands for Read Only Memory, in over word it can only read DVD's.
All CD's and DVD's are read-only unless they are specified "re-writable".
A DVD ROM is a "Read only Memory*" it is the disk itself and as such it cannot burn anything. A DVD reader can only read DVDs. A DVD writer can write som recordable DVD formats.
Computers do read DVD-Rs but if your computer doesn't read DVD-Rs you may not have a DVD Drive. To make sure you have one, Look on the drive. If it says Compact Disk, that means CDs only. If it says Compact Disk and DVD R/RW you cab view and burn DVDs
No. There's no file system on it, and thus nothing to read.
Pick one: ROM, PROM, EPROM write-protected magnetic disk/tape, CD-ROM, DVD-R write-protected partition/file, other user's or sysadmin's file code-segment, read-only data-segment, other user's or kernel's code- or data-segment
DVD-Rs cannot be erased.
CD-Rs (Compact Disc Recordable) are initially writable but can be read-only once the data is finalized. In contrast, DVDs can be either read-only (like DVD-ROMs) or writable (like DVD-R and DVD+R), with the writable types becoming read-only after data is burned. Thus, while CD-Rs can become read-only, not all DVDs are inherently read-only.
Read/ write drives allow you to write DVDs. ROMs only read.
