Does putting a DVD into a CD RW drive damage the former if the latter tries to read it??

I accidently put a DVD, which was working fine till today, into the CDRW drive by mistake, before took it out and put it back into DVD drive...but PowerDVD refuses to read the DVD stating an 'internal error'...

..and it isn't even my DVD..

Any clues as to why it may be happening as such?

It is possible for any CD style drive to damage a disk. It's rare though.

Try exploring the disk to see if Windows can see the files. If it can, try it on a commercial DVD player - it should work fine.
