Recently upgraded to an Asus A7V/T-bird 1000. The machine is running smoothly only my Dvd player (Pioneer) doesn't work. This is strange because my Phillips CD-RW does. I've done all the correct installs (jumpers, cables etc). BIOS detects the drive and when I boot up in windows everything looks ok (properties, drive letter etc) but when I try to access a disc my explorer or windows commander freezes. It basically looks like there's no disc inserted. I've tried (almost) everything, DMA on/off, different BIOS settings, the works.

Any help would be most appreciated.

I have an Aopen DVD which I think is identical to yours.

There are two lasers in the machine, one for reading DVD's and one for CD's.

Mine reads DVD's with no problems, but chokes on CD's.

It's not defective I know that for sure. I've tried two similar drives on my rig and none works. I'm having some thoughts about the UDMA-2, my old CD-RW works so that has to mean something. Is there any other settings I can do with a A7V? Set up the drive manually eg.? If there is does anyone know what settings the drive uses... or anything else.
