Unable to detect USB CD/DVD drive in system running on Solaris 10

[Vicky_sol]

Hey guys,
I just installed solaris 10 OS on my system for a
project, but the system fails to detect the USB Cd/dvd drive connected
to it. However, I can see the LED on the USB drive glowing and hear
the sound. i am able to detect the CD/DVD drive on Windows os. How do
I fix this issue?

5.02? What's that?

What does "cat /etc/release" say?

Possibly. Do you have a USB keyboard? It seems to be malfunctioning too.
Maybe they're interfering with each other?
