Patent ID: 8243563

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving assertion of a signal indicative of an input at an optical disc drive of a computer device, the indication received during a first period when the computer device is in a low-power mode; determining, during the first period, if a tray of the optical disc drive is open in response to assertion of the signal; opening the tray of the optical disc drive during the first period in response to determining that the tray of the optical disc drive is closed; storing at a storage location, during the first period, information indicating that the tray of the optical disc drive has been opened during the first period in response to opening the tray of the optical disc drive, wherein the information is stored by setting a dirty bit in the storage location; during a second period, detecting that the dirty bit was set during the first period; during the second period, determining at the computer device that the optical disc drive was opened during the first period based on information stored at the storage location and the dirty bit, the second period corresponding to a period when the computer device is in a normal mode; after detecting that the dirty bit was set, determining that a disc that was previously located in the optical disc drive was removed during the first period; dismounting a logical volume associated with the disc during the second period in response to detecting that the dirty bit was set and in response to determining that the disc was removed during the first period; after determining that the disc was removed, determining that a new disc other than the disc that was previously located in the optical disc drive has been inserted into the optical disc drive; and displaying information associated with the new disc in response to determining that the new disc has been inserted into the optical disc drive.
