I have heard there is a software that can make a DVD disk compatible for CD drive or CD writer.

No. It is the frequency of the laser - and thus the size of the "pits" in the dye (or holdes for mass produced "stamped" DVDs) of the disk - that prevent a CD's laser from picking up a DVD. DVD's players normally have 2 lasers so they can be backward compatible with reading both CD's (one frequency) and DVD's (a different frequency). Formats do matter, but are not relevent as software could be designed to override any format issue; it just physically cannot be read.
However, the 2nd part of your comment about making a DVD disk compatible for a CD normally involves "ripping" the DVD using a DVD player and then rewriting the software onto a CD using a CD writer; but alas, that is not the same as reading directly from the original dVD disk.

The answer is no. CDs and dvd drives use a different format. you cant just "turn a CD drive into a DVD drive." Both are built with different components, though you can use CDs on a DVD Drive, A DVD is different because it uses a different reading format that DVD drives carry.

Think logically, if a CD can read/write 700MB, and a DVD is 4370MB, the physical dimension doesnt compute already, very much like buying a car and then someone said you can carry a house on the back of it.

it skill that there is a bad sector on your disc and the equipment thinks the disc is unformatted, superb undertaking to do is A) decrease back up each and every thing on that disc and then format it with a sparkling OS. or B) if after that it nevertheless dose that then save that backup and purchase a sparkling HDD to put in its place, then reinstall. those are the wonderful ideas for low point customers, in case you do no longer understand what you're doing issues could desire to get nasty for you, yet that would not advise it cant be rather fastened

its just not possible. you definitely need a DVD-ROM drive to play DVDs. there's no software like that. its just a hardware thing.
