This is the problem, that one is the usb drive which will not work 
either. There is another cdrom in the list which is my internel dvd 
which is /dev/hdc but it will not read the media no matter what i use. I 
can reboot the lap-top and it will load the live ubuntu but when i 
reboot without the live cd, ubuntu will not recognize the drive. For now 
I am without cdrom support for either drive as ubuntu will not read 
either one. I read somewhere that this is an issue with Gutsy because 
the piix driver has been deprecated. It can be resolved if I can find 
that driver and install it into the ide folder i would think.
