Is a DVD-R the same as CD-R?

Computers used to have separate drives for putting in a CD and Playing a DVD. Now, especially with Laptops, Most Computers and Laptops have a multifunction unit in which both DVD'S and CD'S can be read, but again, some computers still do have separate drives, purely because the performance is better, e.g. A CD may upload better onto iTunes for example in A CD drive rather than a CD/DVD drive.

DVD driver not reading DVD but reading cds?

Are you certain that it's a DVD drive? If you only have a CD drive it won't read DVD's, and you'll need to upgrade to a DVD drive. If it's more than a couple years old it's probably a CD drive. To find out, open the "Device Manager" on your computer, then DVD/CD-ROM drives, then expand your CD/DVD. (select the little + to the left) Click "properties" then examine the tabs across the top. If there are 5 tabs they probably say something like "General", "Properties", "Volumes", "Driver", "Details". If that's what it says, you have a CD-Drive and it won't read DVD's. On the other hand, if you have an additional tab that says "DVD Region", it's a DVD drive and it should be able to read DVD's.

What is the procedure to input the data from the Update CD for the Navigation System on a 2006 Prius?

it's a DVD, not a CD, so don't put it in the CD player. look under the driver seat and you will find the gps DVD player. access it from the rear floor behind the driver seat. remove the cover-- no tools-- eject the old DVD and load the new one. close the eject mechanism and replace the cover.
