I see it loaded a old standard IDE driver for both IDE controllers. Which is why now it detects the DVD drive now. Probably not the most optimal driver but hey it works.

Can you give us a screenshot or the drivers it used and what version it used to finally see the drive in case I run into this myself?

It will be in device manager under IDE ATA/Atapi controllers.

Opps your not the poster who had issues. But do you want the correct driver for your Standard AHCI device? All I need is the hardware ID in the device properties.
