Have never had any problems with asus products until now. Everything was working fine until I used the lightscribe function for the first time, now it absolutely refuses to recognise any cd, dvd's work perfectly, both reading and writing, but when a cd is loaded all the drive does is make a hell of a racket. The drive is exactly one week old so my course of action was to go to the Asus web site to see if it was possibly something simple like a software glitch. What I found on the forum was a lot more people with the same problem, who have all followed the recommended solutions (even down to flashing the drive and using different software) but still can't get their drives to work. I will be returning mine to the re-seller but am having serious doubts about getting the same model. I will gladly stick with Asus, they are a very reliable company, just not a model with lightscribe. Asus really needs to sort this out before a lot more buyers encounter the same problem.
