Appreciate the help Billy! Your flasher worked and was simple. Rip'd one disc and on my 2nd one with the drive with no issues so far. Both these discs were unreadable (kept giving errors) by the Asus drives I already had. The Pioneer definitely seems to be more reliable at reading. It's a little slower--- but it doesn't matter if you can't read the disc.

Thanks again! Kendel

Success! Now I can read my library, actually I'm saving right now the german edition of Animal House with OG audio.
I thanked you appropriately, cheers!
