When you have selected Ultimate Battery Life as a power management profile in PowerPanel, it
completely shuts off the power of the optical drive to save some extra power for longer battery life. The
system can neither read or write from or to the optical drive, moreover the drive does not start spinning
at all. If you want to use the optical drive, return to Maximum Battery Life (when running on
batteries).
