Is it possible to read a DVD through CD-ROM drive(compact
Disk drive and NOT COMBO) through some software tool.?
AFAIK, DVD media,data format and the mechanism of
reading DVD is different and therefore CD-ROM drive
cannot be used for reading DVD.
That is correct.

I get another doubt because of your answers.
An ISO image (files present in compact disk) can be
dumped into a hard disk. Without any CDROM drive and
with the help of some tools(like cd emulator or virtual
cd drive for MS windows) it can be accessed later if
I want.
If the organizing and structuring of data in any media
is already known, then why not dumping the content of dvd
into hard disk OR reading thru cd drive not possible through
some tool like virtual cd drive OR loopback devices?
kindly pour your thoughts on the same.
