I plugged it into a Windows system and it also recognized a CD drive.
In addition, it vomited out a few popup windows and started something
in the system tray. This is so ingenious that I think it must be a 'smart'
drive. An article from the following URL tells me it is a 'U3 smart drive':

I didn't know such a thing existed before today.

Apparently there is a U3 uninstaller:

Thanks for the responses everyone. My confusion is gone.
