    I know; it's faster and doesn't require a bootable disc. :p
    From WinRE you can still check if the drive is accessible.

    Someone asked if the drive worked under a previous windows version like 7 or 8.1, x86 or x64?

    AHCI enabled or disabled?

    What are the entries listed in device properties/details/hardware IDs? (it supports copying text, no need to screenshot).
    Also check the SATA controller mode as suggested by Enthousiast. Note that the OS will most likely only boot in the mode it is currently set to, so changing the setting may result in a BSOD on bootup.

    I don't know what that means.

    what i find odd about all of this i have a lenovo T-400 thats 8 years old running windows 10 i install all the drivers in compatibility mode and everything works fine....hes asus is much newer....is real strange that 8.1 or 7 driver are not working for him.:g: the very last thing that u can do is see the manufacture of your optic drive go to their site and see if they have another driver for it.... i find it very strange. only way to know 100% is swapping the hardware...but that can be a waste of time and $$$$......everything else runs fine u can run win10 with out the optic drive....and maybe in the next few insider build MS mite have a driver that will work for u.

    i also forgot another thing that u can do is....remove battery from the motherboard wait like 30 minutes put that batt back in....that should reset everything and install win 10 again....sorry dude is a mission i dont want to drive u more crazy than u are already but i think resetting the hardware is worth the shoot.

    Pretty much no CD/DVD drive these days requires a specific driver. Basically they all run with the generic inbox driver. For whatever reason that driver isn't installed for the device.

    The cmos batt will keep the settings.

    Edit, he meant the cmos batt, sorry :) but when the removal of the dvd drive is such a hassle, removing the cmos batt maybe will be a bigger one :)

    my dell laptop is the same way. dvd drive is seen in bios and seen at boot but when windows is started it is not there. regardless if x86 or x64. if i close the laptop and then open it (hibernation cycle) then it shows up and is usable in windows.

    it was that way until i started loading windows in uefi mode. that totally eliminated the problem for me. and i tried every fix i read all over the net, uefi is the only way it was fixed.

    After all said and done, there is nothing more to say than to get something new. Perhaps, external DVD writer/Player.
