You might find a exclamation mark too in device manager for your DVD Drive. The device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers. So, if above solution didn't worked for you, probably you need to. Drive will work when it is attached to another computer through the USB 2.0 hookups.
Hi, It is possible that the drive is defective, but there may be a power conservation setting on your laptop causing a problem as well. If you go to Power Options.

When USB powered external drives first came out, there were a lot of problems with insufficient power availability. Even after using two USB plugs the problem remained to a lesser degree. USB 3.0 has a higher power output to try and resolve a lot of those issues.
I managed to fix this one myself. The fix was for Windows 8/8.1 but it worked perfectly for Windows 10. Run Command Prompt as an Administrator. Copy/type the following and enter reg.exe add 'HKLM System CurrentControlSet Services atapi Controller0' /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 3. Reboot the system My DVD drive was then automatically recognised.
Yippee.I took the time to register, so that I could thank you for getting my DVD drive recognised. Bit of a poor show from Microsoft, but hey, it was a free upgrade.
All the other 'fixes' were nonsense. Thanks again.
Hi, It really isn't my day. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and previously my DVD/CD Drive was working perfectly. Now, nowhere on my PC, and I mean nowhere, is my DVD/CD drive recognised as existing. There is no DVD drive showing in Device Manager or in Settings>Devices. I have taken the side panel off my PC and all cables are properly plugged in. I have not tampered with the BIOS at all.
Please, can somebody help as I really need to burn a disk tonight? Thanks, Charles.My computer is an upgraded Dell E510 with 4 gb ram from Win7 to Win10. The upgrade went off without a hitch until I discovered that my dvd drive had disappeared. The dvd drive worked before the upgrade.
Now it does not show in the Device Manager and in fact cd/dvd drives are not even listed. There is no listing for atapi drives. I had VLC player installed to view movies so I uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled. An external drive works but what is the use of having an internal drive if the computer cant see it. Hacking the Registry is not my thing.

My FREE upgrade seemed to work well but I found several glitches including the above. Most annoying for me is not being able to set a PIN password when logging in on ex-Windows 7 Home Premium upgrades followed closely by the upgrade messing up my folder permissions (due to setting up an MS account). Top tip, if anyone says you must run a 'clean install', ignore them. Don't give up. My FREE upgrade seemed to work well but I found several glitches including the above.

When I did an upgrade to 10 from a Win 7 Home on an old laptop, it defaulted to a local account. When I switched to a Microsoft account in Settings, I automatically got the PIN associated with the MS Account. It also brought over the same desktop background as used on my other machines.
