    DVD drive was working under Win7, completely disappeared after inst 10


    This issue is as simple as the subject line. My DVD drive was working fine under Windows 7. In fact I even installed 10 from a burned DVD. Now it is completely MIA. No exclamation-marked devices on device manager or anything. I did try a couple solutions that were supposed to work on a similar problem on 8, namely registry changes, but they did no good. I can't even find mention of this being a Windows 10 problem anywhere.

    I am experiencing the same exact thing but with no working fixes as you have mentioned. Could we be the only 2 people this has happened to? Question, does your drive show up in bios? Mine does

    I finally got it working. What's weird is that I really did try this Win8 trick 2 times before.

    Right click the start button and open an admin command prompt and paste this in, then reboot;
    reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

    Mind you it did take about 3 times to work.

    Thanks for this! You not the only folks dealing with this problem. :)

    I've been having the missing DVD drive issue ever since Win 10 was installed. I'm going to give this a try and see what happens.

    Well, gave that fix a shot and nothing so far. The DVD drive is still MIA in Windows . . . but it works fine in Ubuntu 14.04.

    I had this issue with my upgrade from 7 to 10

    The fix for me was relatively simple, I moved the SATA connector in MB to another one, and rebooted. Problem fixed.

    Reg hack worked for me.
    <rant>We created Plug n Play back around 1995. Not sure what we did in 2015 to break it.</rant>

    I tried it 3 times, but I neglected to open the "Command Prompt (Admin)." I just opened the "Command Prompt."
