- Subject: bluebirds anyone?

A few weeks ago I swapped out my old HP optical drive and installed a
new LG unit. It works ok, but since I added it to my F11 box I have a
persistent phantom disk called "bluebirds" on my desktop. It shows
four files (autorun.inf, setup.exe, bluebirds.exe and drag&burn.exe).
There is not any medium in the drive. Odd, eh?
Well, I googled around and it appears to be the case that LG provides
this as firmware of some kind on the drive, apparently to provide burn
software. It is a nuisance and anyway I do not want Windows
executables (or anything else really) installed on my system without
me knowing anything about it.
I don't see any way to get this disabled or generally make it go away.
/proc/mounts shows this line:
/dev/sr0 /media/Bluebirds iso9660
ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=500,gid=500,iocharset=utf8,mode=0400,dmode=0500 0
Could I do a firmware update? suggestions?
