Hi,
When you did you bought your laptop because if it is more than three year
old. Then there may be a chance of having
single layer DVD writer/reader only.

I am still searching for answer, I asked a couple of friends they said
that all DVD player on a computer should be capable of reading Dual
layer DVD. I even double checked the Dual laver DVD on another
Desktop the DVD work just fine. It is just my laptop which is not
capable of detecting the same :-(
To the best of my knowledge, all desktop and laptop DVD-RW units can
play and burn Dual Layer media. I have had no problems playing the
official Star Wars DVDs on my Linux laptop.
I have also had DVD units "loose" their functionality over a period of
time e.g. it will read DVD but not able to boot from DVD etc. Your
unit may be in this category.
My experience with the external USB DVD units has been similar. In
general life expectancy has been about 12-18 months with the units
(desktop, laptop, and USB external) I have had.
