The drive was working well on Windows just before Kubuntu was installed. 
As I know with Google, other people are experiencing problems with this 
drive under Linux. I bought a new DVD drive too to replace this one. It 
is a Pionneer too. Now things are working very well.

I no longer have Windows on this machine so I cannot make another test.

May be the drive is too old: 2001. It is not a serious issue but it is 
good to make you know.
