Running Double (dual) layer DVD's on T42

[zamane]

Hi. My T42 does not recognize double (or sometimes it is called dual) layer DVD's. Can I solve this by downloading a new driver for my internal DVD-drive? Is there a solution for this other than buying an external double-layer DVD-drive?

I have the following machine :

Product: ThinkPad T42 2379-R8U
