In 'This PC' the disc drive is not showing either. It has worked in the past but not been played for a while. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Peter.	PeterE (6851)

If it's not showing up in "This computer" or the BIOS either it's not connected, has no power, the port it's connected to is faulty, or the drive is dead. If shows up in the BIOS but not windows you could try a bootable disk like Linux to see if the drive still works. Otherwise check all the cables are firmly connected at both ends, pull them out and plug them back in a couple times, if that does nothing try another Sata port.	dugimodo (138)

Initially I was unable to play any audio files with VLC Media Player from the hard drive but that is now fixed. Still not able to play anything on the DVD/WR player.	PeterE (6851)

Have a read through these options dvd-drive-windows-10/ (windowsreport.com) Under no circumstances install any auto driver updaters. In the first pic after selecting hidden devices look to see if the drives sowing where it should be (CD/DVD drives) ALSO make sure you dont have any drive emulator software installed - ( eg DAEMON Tools or such) these can cause all sorts of failures.	wainuitech (129)
