My dad has a combo drive that is nearly 4 years old.
For the first couple of years the dvd drive parr worked perfectly with
all disks
but from then on it slowly didn't work with most disks.
I have just recently figured out that it only reads single layered
disks.
any recommendations or getting a new drive the only way to run most of
the dvds that now use dual layered disks.

If you have a DVD burner on your computer you could reauthor the disks
you own using DVD shrink so that they fit on a single layered disk.
Other than that if your talking about a drive for his PC, check
newegg.com they always have great deals on computer hardware, and they
are very reputable.

Hope it helps.
