So this leads me to believe the drive is ok and the cable / port are good as it's being recognized. There is power to the drive, it opens and closes and if I put a disk in it spins up. When I started the PC back up I entered BIOS and the drive shows up under Sata Port 2 like it should: Shut off the PC again and re-connected the CD/DVD drive. Turned off the PC and unplugged the CD/DVD drive from the Sata Port. So far I have done the following troubleshooting: ![]() (As an aside, what are those unnamed disks?)Ībove: Device Manger, there is not even an option to view DVD / CD-ROM drives.Ībove: Device Manager - Show Hidden Devices - still no luck.Ībove: Regedit - A fix I saw was to check this registry for UpperFilters and LowerFilters both of which were not there so I didn't touch anything here. I have included screenshots to show the problem:Ībove: So here you can see My Computer, there is my SSD Boot drive but the DVD / CD-ROM is not thereĪbove: The DVD / CD-ROM drive does not show up in Disk Management, I've tried rescanning drives, refresh, nothing. ![]() ![]() Now when I look at Device Manager there is not even a DVD/CD-ROM option (menu spot for it). I went to install / check for updated drivers in Device Manager and I believe I clicked uninstall by mistake. ![]() I ran into all sorts of issues following this and believed that something had corrupted during the data transfer so I opted to disconnect my HDD and do a fresh install of windows with a format on my SSD.Įverything was working well until one day the same thing happened with my DVD/CR-ROM drive, it just disappeared from My Computer. One day while I was transferring data from my SSD boot drive to my HDD storage drive everything locked up, I got an error message (that I didn't save) and all of a sudden my HDD was no longer visible in My Computer. I upgraded to Windows 10 64bit from Windows 7 64bit. Hello everyone! I have googled this all over the place and there are all sorts of issues with DVD / CD-ROM players no longer being recognized but I haven't come across the same problem I'm having.
