What make/model is the drive?? Check the device properties for the drive in control pannel/system/hardware/device manager (assuming you have win2k) Post exactly what the drive type is. Once we're aware of this, then we can tell you if its already region free or how to make it region free.

You have to worry about your Drive's firmware and your software players region.

In order to crack the region on your software, search for a programme called DVD Genie.

Its unlikely that your drives firmware will be a problem but go here www.visualdomain.net for new firmare for various DVD drives.

Hope that helps.
