it is trying to activate the apple dvd player  i did not see anything
to disable dvd but you may have to open all applications until the free
memory is very low making the system bail out of launching the dvd
player or if you have stuffit installed you could stuff the dvd player
program so either nothing will happen or a low memory error happens or
you could only use the dvd ram disks/drive as a 4.5 and 9 gig hard disk
to store files and use the other drives for cds

if all else fails call the maker of the dvd ram drive they may have a
tech line
