Hi! I've had a bit of a problem lately and I'm hoping you can help me out. I have the following in my PC:

ASUS DVD-ROM E608
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D

Whenever I put a music disc in the Pioneer and open up the folder every track is exactly 44kb long. When I do the same with the ASUS I'm lucky if it reads it at all! Any ideas?

I don't know why your ASUS is having a problem reading the music disc. Try going here http://support.asus.com/download and find your model and try to update the dvd-rom firmware. The reason that you only see each track being 44kb is that's how windows recognizes it. If you have a cd ripping tool it will decode the raw .wav file on the cd to an .mp3 or another file type of your choice.

Thanks! I can't seem to find my model on this site.:confused:

Where it says General Download make sure your selection for product is OPTICAL STORAGE.
For select series select DVD-ROM.
For select model choose DVD-E608.
Make sure to follow the firmware upgrade instructions carefully as to not turn that dvd-rom into a nice paper weight.

Did what you said mate and it says no new firmware required. Thanks for your input anyway.
