Hi Mike,
Yes, that is what the software does. The only mystery is how come it worked with Sam's DVD drive. But as I say, there could be another thing entirely.
As Keith suggests, it would be worth examining the CD using a tool like Nero to find out if there is a data session in addition to the audio.
I use EAC (Exact Audio Copy) for ripping audio. When it is running, it takes full control of the drive, so preventing the OS from auto-running anything when you insert a CD (indeed, if you close EAC while the CD is still in place, at that point the Windows autorun dialog pops up). So, it's a really useful tool for ripping CDs without any hassles - I've no idea if I have any copy-protected CDs, but I ripped all of mine (over 500) using EAC with no issues.
