Linux Lite does not identify my CD/DVD Drive

HDD Total Size: 160.0GB (7.5% used)
          ID-1: /dev/sda model: SAMSUNG_HE160HJ size: 160.0GB
          Optical: /dev/sr0 model: PLDS DVD-ROM DH-16D5S
          dev-links: cdrom,dvd
          Features: speed: 125x multisession: yes
          audio: yes dvd: yes rw: none

When I go into preferences in Xfburn, it cannot identify a cd/dvd drive. When I order it to burn an ISO image, the start button is greyed out as are some of the other functions.

I guess torreydale's assumption is correct looking at the output.
ROM = read only memory; A -ROM drive can read discs but not write to them.
rw = read write; none means there is no rw capability

I couldn't find a data sheet. If you have one, you can check our assumption. Usually you can find this information also on the drive itself.

PS: Have you ever burnt a CD/DVD with it?
