    I just bought the Aspite 5810TZ. When I try to insert a CD in the CD-DVD drive (TSST corp CDDVDW TS-U6633A), the hole in the middle of the CD is too small to fit into the center element of the drive.

    Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong with my drive?

    Try some other CDs if it really doesn't fit, or push the centre of the CD down onto the knob so that it can spin with the motor. The CD has to lock on to the spindle, it's not supposed to float on top of the tray.
