The computer does not detect the external optical drive

If Windows does not detect an attached device, the device driver software may be missing or corrupted.
If you suspect that the DVD/CD-ROM drive is not being detected, verify that the optical drive is listed in
the Device Manager utility.
1. Remove any discs from the external optical drive.
2. Click Start and type device manager in the Start Search box.
As you type, search results are listed in the pane above the box.
3. In the results pane, click Device Manager. If prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
4. In the Device Manager window, click the plus sign (+) next to DVD/CD-ROM drives, unless a minus
sign (-) is already showing. Look for an optical drive listing.
If the drive is not listed, install (or reinstall) the device driver as instructed in the section
driver must be reinstalled on page 31.
