Toshiba PA3761U-1DV2 Portable/Slim USB SuperMulti DVD-Writer

Works in the OS from Redmond.
Hmmm. Ok, let's try this:
1. Plug the drive in
2. Insert a blank DVD
At that point, depending on which desktop you have and how it's
configured, you might get a popup that says "You have inserted a blank
DVD. What would you like to do?" I do, but I'm running XFCE and have
the desktop configured to "Burn a CD or DVD when a blank disc is inserted".
If you don't have that configured, then:
3. Bring up Brasero from your applications menu
4. Click the "Burn image" button (generally the bottom button on
the left side)
You should get a dialog box. Under "Select a disk image to write", you
should be able to select the ISO image you want to burn. Below that,
under "Select a disc to write to", you should see something similar to
"Blank DVD-R Disc: 4.7 GB of free space". If you see that, then Brasero
knows you have a blank DVD in a RW drive and you should be able to write
to it.
If you don't see that "Blank DVD-R..." message, try rebooting with the
drive plugged in. The system may not recognize it as a RW drive when
hotplugged. Mine does.
