    Since the upgrade on Windows 10, the dvd is not there anymore.

    Laptop Asus x55u.

    The dvd is : tsstcorp sn-208 dn

    I see the dvd in the device manager in Other device. But there is no driver for it.

    On the Asus site nothing for the dvd.

    Try to update with an .inf file i've found on the net, no result.
    In the registry there is no upper or lower case for the dvd.

    Please help me.

    Thank's

    Did You run sfc /scannow and DISM ??? Sounds like a corrupted install.

    In ADMIN Cmd Prompt Type

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    When you use the /CheckHealth argument, the DISM tool will report whether the image is healthy, repairable, or non-repairable. If the image is non-repairable, you should discard the image and start again. If the image is repairable, you can use the /RestoreHealth argument to repair the image.
    If image is repairable:

    With ISO Media in CD/DVD tray: (The same media you installed image with) Type in ADMIN Cmd Prompt Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:M:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess
    press enter on keyboard, wait for it to finish--M would be drive letter of your CD/DVD tray, remember to change M to your CD/DVD drive letter.

    After that in ADMIN CMD Prompt run sfc /scannow
    is just to make sure all is well.

    Be aware that if you have modified your system files as in theming explorer/system files, running sfc /scannow will revert the system files such as explorer.exe back to it's default state. Make the appropriate backups of your system files that you have modified for theming if you wish to save them before running sfc /scannow.

    Ok the sfc /scannow done that at the beginning. The Dism did it also after the sfc /scannow. No ERROR found.

    PointZero i've tried the reg file post on the forum you just gave me but still nothing after the reboot.

    You can as well try to look for your DVD hardware identification at the 'Property' in the Device manager to see if you can find the firmware that is compatible with it online.

    make sure first that is enable in your bios settings if it is...how old is your laptop? sounds like a firmware update issue or driver issue or believe it or not DVD drive just when bad.....do u have another optic drive that u can swap to test....thats the best way to know 100% try this re-install windows again and see if the issue gets solved.

    Could be one of the wires either power or data are loose, unplugged or bad going to your DVD, make sure data cable is plugged into motherboard and power cable has power.:D:worthy:

    Reboot

    this is I suppose an Asus issue, i had it while just upgraded to win 8 if i remember correctly, i saved this solution :
    1. Run Command Prompt as an Administrator. Type cmd in Windows 8 modern UI and press cltr+shift+enter

    2. Type following and say enter


    reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

    3. Reboot the system

    4. Verify if the problem has been resolved.

    Thank you!

    It's not something as simple as "Hide empty drives" in the view settings of a folder is it?

    Or is it happening while a disc is in the drive too?

    to me simplest way is to swap out the drive....but sense he doesnt have another one....best way put in the win10 disk re-start hit F12 select boot option.....and hit boot from DVD if it start win setup the drive is working....if it doesnt the hardware is bad.

    MrBat yes. Reinstall win10 (usb key) and yes same ...... problem


    The drive is there. Start the computer hitting "esc" and choose boot from the dvd (windows 10). It is working.
