The System Profiler:

CD-RW/DVD-R
Disc Burning "not supported"
Unit Number "0"
ATA Device Type " atapi"
Device Serial (blank)
Device Revision "1.06"
Product Identification "DVD-RW DVR-108"
Vendor Identification "PIONEER"

Is this how it should show up? Do I need to install a driver just for 
it to be recognized as a "superdrive"?

Thanks for the help
