Windows 10: ASUS DVD Re-Writer (DRW-24F1ST) - Driver Required

First of all, I'm not sure this is the right section of the forum to post this question.

If it isn't can a Mod please move it to the more appropriate section - thanks.

Okay - to the question.

I have just installed Win 10 Pro on an SSD with a separate (& large) data disk.

I have installed various old programs that I used to have in the previous Win 7 installation by downloading the appropriate (and newer) version for Windows 10.

I have used CDBurnerXP for burning .iso images to disk in the past. However, when I downloaded the latest version of Linux Mint (20 "Ulyana") and tried to burn that to disk, CDBurnerXP reports "No compatible drives".





PC has a DVD Re-writer - an ASUS DRW-24F1ST:





... and when I check that the best (& latest) driver is installed, Windows tells me it is:





However, the ASUS website only lists a utility for this drive - called E-Green, which when run only appears to be some sort of energy management program - it doesn't install and drivers.

There appear to be drivers available from third parties - such as pcmatic.com (version 10.0.18362.1 for Win 10 64-bit) and driveridentifier.com (version 10.0.15063 for Windows 10) - but nothing on Microsoft (save for the 2006 generic driver version 10.0.19041) or on the ASUS website.

Can I trust pcmatic.com or driveridentifier.com for a driver??

Otherwise, my DVD Re-writer simply works only as a CD-ROM drive!

Cheers,

Hi

Welcome and thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to check if the DVD Writer is detected and listed in Device Manager.

Method 1: Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

If the DVD Writer is not listed in the Device Manager, let us run the Hardware and Device troubleshooter.

• • Type troubleshooting in the search box on taskbar.
    
  • Click on Troubleshooting in the search results.
  • Click on Hardware and Sound and select Hardware and Devices and click on
    Next to run the troubleshooter.

Method 2: Update DVD-ROM drivers and check.

If the DVD Writer is listed in the Device Manager, lets Update the DVD-ROM driver.

• 
  Press Windows key + R on the Keyboard.
  
• 
  Type in devmgmt.msc and click on
  Ok.
  
• 
  Select the Graphic driver from the list by extending
  DVD/CD-ROM drivers.
  
• 
  Right click on the Graphic driver and click on
  Update driver Software.
