I am hunting for a solution to mounting an external USB2.0 HP DVD Movie Writer DC4000 drive.

I hope I've given enough info below to get started.

Here's what I know:

Not sure why my writer is stamped a "dc4000" but all the internals say it's a dc3000.

I realize I haven't upgraded my kernel for a while, but if there is a simpler solution to finding out which device this thing is and how to mount it without cracking that nut, I'm open to suggestion.

TIA
