ALLMAC4 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Can 8.5GB DVDs work with Windows 2000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockingbird Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Yes, and on Windows 98, and DOS too for that matter. This is drive dependent and not OS dependent. If your DVD drive can read 8.5GB discs, then your OS will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVDs formatted with UDF 2.0+ require a third-party driver or utility to work with Windows 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Yep, OP should try Adaptec UDF Reader Driver, it should still be available: https://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/1018/ jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
