Mis-identified CD/DVD drive
I replaced the CD drive in my Presario 5000T desktop yesterday with a
Philips DVD8301/44 I got from a friend without documentation or box. From what I can find on Google it should read both CDs and DVDs. However, it reads only DVDs. This happens under both Windows XP Home and Ubuntu Linux 7.10. XP Device Manager thinks it's an HP DVD-writer 300c. I can't find what Linux thinks it is; I'm just starting out in Linux and it has no Device Manager that I've found yet. I'm guessing the problem is either the drive or the Compaq BIOS. Any ideas?
