Windows 10: BCD Error After Attaching DVD Burner - Why?

My Asus H61-MK just gave me a refusal to boot and a BCD error this morning. Usual message saying it could be related to recent hardware changes.

Well sure enough I hung a SATA DVD burner off it last night.

So I took it off this morning after that and then she booted alright and here I am. Thank God, because my other machine has crashed this morning, too...

So if I still want to hang this DVD burner off it how should I go about it? What's the problem here? Why does attaching a device cause this sort of error? Is it some kind of problem between legacy and UEFI bios or something? Is there a way around it, a proper routine we should employ to attach such devices?

Or they just don't go on there at all?

No DVD Burner in win10


Hi. Thank you for your quick response. I downloaded the suggested programme and was able to produce the necessary VOB files. I could not get the burner to work however. Although the programme recognises my burner as per screen, my PC tell me to insert a disc. I have used both my H and I drives, and also tried DVD+RW and DVD-R, both of which are compatible with the programme. Bree ( a forum guru), also suggested using DVD style.I downloaded that but got the same result. I know that you may not be clued up on the particular software, could there be an issue with the drives? when I check the device manager, things seem to be okay. I just feel that I am missing a step somewhere. When I used win 7, I didnt think about what I was doing, it just happened

Hi Paul,

One of the possible causes why you are experiencing issues with your DVD burner is due to corrupted download or incomplete installation of Windows Disc Image Burner software. Based on your post, you've already tried the troubleshooting steps that could address
