Is there any way, short of trying different ones, to know which format (+R/-R) the DVD R/RW drive in my laptop uses? I've tried Googling and the only thing I found was a thread on a forum discussing re-flashing; One or more messages there suggest this drive supports both formats. Is that possible? FWIW I've tried +R with no success.
The manufacturer's web site doesn't help because they only list some of their drives.
BTW what does cross-flashing mean? It's mentioned several times on that forum I found and they appear to be suggesting that a drive can be re-flashed to emulate a different model and even a different manufacturer. Why would they need to do that?
TIA
