This seems to be your cdrom drive, and not your local hard drive.

Could you send me the output of lshal --long -u <udi> for your hard drive.
You can get the udi by using hal-device-manager (info.udi property) or
with "lshal | grep storage | grep udi" and then choosing the one which
matches your hardware.
