Actually I reacall now that I had read somewhere in this forum that this may be possible.. if I recall correctly it was like most manufacturers are making only DVD RW drives but selling it as DVD ROM with the writer functionality disabled. It also required tweaking with the Lens head. But its too complicated to be true.
