A question about Windows XP and Blu Ray

[ewanmclean2005]

I switched back to Windows XP recently because I was displeased with Windows Vista. I am having no problem playing movies with PowerDVD. It was easy enough to open the file system on a Blu Ray drive in Windows Vista, but on Windows XP its a whole different story for me.

This is what the drive looks like with nothing in it, Windows XP seems to recognise it as a DVD RAM drive. Now I understand that because Blu Ray came out long after Windows XP that there will be no icons made in shell32.dll for the drive and that there would have been no initial native support for Windows XP and Blu Ray.



This is the funny thing though when I insert a Blu Ray disc into my drive this is what happens next. The disc is inserted and it has now magically turned into a CD Drive



Okay if thats not enough, once I click on the drive to browse the contents of the Blu Ray disc the following message appears. Windows XP obviously doesn't like the file system that is on the Blu Ray disk.



Is there any sort of fix that allows me to browse the contents of the Blu Ray disk?
