This drive was used to install Hardy on this system from the Hardy CD-ROM.
This system had Gutsy on it and it was backed up to DVD burned by this drive
on this system then wiped and installed a fresh installation of Hardy with this
drive.
In Hardy it will only mount data and music CD-ROMS. No dvd media data or movies
can be mounted on this system since Hardy was installed.
