Changing DVD region difficulties

    I'm currently trying to change the DVD region on a laptop back to region 2. It's only ever been changed once before (to region 1).
    The DVD drive is a Matsh*ta DVD-RAM UJ-850S. *=i (It won't display the full word because a particular combination of letters is in the middle).
    The computer says that there is one change left but when I try and change it, it says something about needing media from region 2 and then refuses to change.
    Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to get it to work (aside from going to plan B and buying an external drive).

    2. Insert DVD

    3. Play DVD

    4. Profit
