Remember to close your tags. ;)

I think the only way to unlock it is by finding a cracked firmware, then flashing teh drive with it.

Search google for your DVD-ROM drive's model number followed by things like "firmware", "cracked firmware", etc.

also help if you told us the model number.

If it's to play movies, you could use dvd genie if you have a compatible dvd softwareplayer.

It worked on my hitachi gd-7500, supposedly locked at region 2, with powerdvd.
Mind you, it was an old version, and they may have removed the possibility.

This (http://www.dvdidle.com/dvd-region-free.htm) seems to be able to enable you to play anything, but you will need a crack after 30 days if you do not want to pay.

You will need to find the firmware installer too. Hopefully it should be on the same site as the one where you found the firmware. If not, I wouldn&#39;t combine firmware and installer from 2 different sites, far too risky.
