Thanks. I'm curious to learn how you know it is an LG drive.

Coopervid made that determination based on the drive platform of MT1959.

ASUS doesn't actually manufacture their own optical drives; they buy a drive from an OEM (LG in this case) and put their own logo and firmware on it.

ok, cool. So then I would flash the LG 5.25 desktop file in the firmware pack?
