CD/DVD rom not working/not detected-windows 10

That registry key looks OK.

If the drive is not showing up in the Device Manager try the following:

Right-click the Start button > Command Prompt (Admin)

Then, at the command prompt type the following ( you can copy and paste) and press "Enter":

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

Restart the computer.

Hi Auggy,

Thanks for the response, unfortunately this did not work. Any other suggestions I could try ?

Is the drive showing up at all in the Device Manager?

Also, what computer (make/model) ?

Hi,

Thanks for the interest.

I downloaded the USB version of W10 and did a clean boot. Lo and behold all's well now. Yes I had to load other programs on, but it was worth it. The time spent: about a couple of hours. The USB version is a great idea as new laptop and devises do not have a CD drive.

Step 1: Launch Command Prompt with administrator rights. To do this, switch to Start screen, type CMD and then simultaneously press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys to launch elevated prompt. Click Yes for User Account Control prompt. .

STEP 2: Paste the following command on the Command Prompt

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

Step 3: Exit the Command Prompt, reboot your PC. You should now see the DVD drive in Windows Explorer as well as Device Manager.

This problem may also Occur because of the Drivers check for the Latest Drivers on the web of your Machine

IT MIGHT ALSO BE WITH THE PHYSICAL CONNECTION ... SO CHECK THE FOLLOWING

1) Shut down PC.
2) Physically disconnect the CD/DVD Drive.
3) Reboot to Windows with NO DVD drive.
4) Shut down PC.
5) Physically reconnect the CD/DVD Drive.
6) Reboot to Windows with DVD drive.
7) Check Device status.

Need help! Still my CD/DVD drive does not appear in my device manager and explorer.

I did this below but don't work:

>cmd (admin)

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

>>Reboot

Don't work!

Help anyone?
