What does MakeMKV say about your drive? Post contents of 'Info' box (right side of the window).

You can flash it. Here is Billy's tutorial:

I've looked at that before but I'm not sure what to do.

Download the MK firmware and SDFTool flasher. Flash the 204 MK firmware from the ASUS folder to your drive. If you feel uncomfortable contact Billy and he will send you an automated flasher for $25.

THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG!!!

Do not do this. Your Archgon is a LG BU40N. Use SDFtool Flasher to flash your drive with BU40N 1.03-MK firmware and you are good to go.
Cheers :D
