Most likely the disc was burned in Vista Live File System which is
packet writing in UDF 2.01. Winxp/sp2 should have read the disc, but
AFAIK, Linux does not yet support UDF 2.01.
You should have this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\udfs.sys
File version: 5.1.2600.2180

I have it: 5.1.2600.2180, 64.6 KB (66,176 bytes), and Tuesday, August
03, 2004, 11:00:32 PM.

If the above is what you have, then the burn was sub-optimal or
drive/media mismatch. (One of my Liteon DVD burners does not recognize
mastered Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD+R.)
Interesting. So, are you saying he needs to reburn with a different DVD?
Man, I thought this issue was resolved long ago. I remember this problem
with CDs.

If his burner is 16x, try another brand like Verbatim (Singapore). If
his burner is 8x/4x, try 8x/4x disc. Unlike with CD-R, dvd media is
better off burned at its rated speed.

OK, I will ask him about that. I assume he used whatever defaults in Vista.

You know, others and I have noticed some burned DVDs (not the same burn
I mentioned earlier) just don't work in some DVD drives like at work
(some hate Office Max, Memorex, etc.). It drives us nuts. This is why I
still don't own DVD burner and still use the reliable CD burners (my old
Plextor PX-W1210 PlexWriter (12/10/32A; IDE) from end of 2000!). :

"Ant" wrote in message ...
IsoBuster v2.4.0.1's status bar said "In case of errors, read requests
can take a long time to complete."

Then after a few minutes, it said "No file systems and/or files found"
-- "During moutning of the disc only a session/track layout could be
found. No file-systems nor files and folders could be found. Assuming
you are looking for certain (missing) files, we suggest you run the
option: "Find missing files and folders"". I did not continue since it
probably would not work.

I did notice in its GUI, it showed sesson 1 with its Track 01 that was
4.38 GB (4,700,372,992 bytes) with 0 LBA and N/A modified.

This info is stored in the lead in, with multiple copies.

I did not see where the UDF version is. Where is it located? I hope the
provided datas, above, helped.

Near the beginning of the track. Errors here mean you need data recovery software.

Do see what condition your disc is in, grab Nero discspeed (free) and do a scandisc.

(Find out the dvd writer's speed. Get the brand name and model number in
the Device Manager and search for the writer's spec.)

Have your friend burn the 4G file in 'Mastered'. In the autorun menu
when a blank disc is inserted, select 'Burn files to disc using
Windows'. In the 'Burn/Prepare disc' window, click down arrow of 'Show
formatting options' and then select 'Mastered'. (Live File System is
selected by default.) After adding the 4G file, click 'Burn to disc'
button. In the 'Burn to Disc' window that pops up, select 16x (or
highest speed) in the 'Recording speed' drop down box. The resulting dvd
is in ISO 9660 that should be readable in all operating systems and
optical drives.

Interesting. I will ask him later. Since I have an old machine, with
HL-DT-ST GDR8163B drive (who is that?) that can read the burned DVD, I
just copied the file and went from there. And that was on an old
machine with updated Windows XP Pro. SP2. Funny how even an external USB
HP DVD300e DVD Writer can't read this burned DVD.
