How old is your computer? Mine is one just like the one Lost In Space has and it flatly refuses to recognize a CD/DVD via a USB port. Apparently only newer models can do that.

Gotcha. I'm pretty sure only Macs that didn't come with a built-in optical drive can recognize an external one via USB port. I found that out the hard way after spending $100 on a genuine Apple USB external optical drive for my mid-2011 iMac. The OWC one I got works fine via Thunderbolt, though.
