Windows 10: DVD RW Drive (D:) stops reading, playing, working after upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

Hello,


My DVC RW drive (D stops working after I upgraded my laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. I followed troubleshoot directions found in the Microsoft Community and online to solve the issue, however, my DVD drive remains nonresponsive. I have the Sony Vaio E Series laptop. Below is the most recent direction I used to troubleshoot the problem, but issue remains unresolved.


Uninstall & reinstall driver
Windows Key+X (Or right click on Start) > Click Device Manager > View tab > Show Hidden Devices > Expand DVD/CD Drives > Right click on entry below > Uninstall Device > Reboot your computer.


If you know the trick, please help, much appreciated!

SATA DVD-RW Drives

Hey Guys,

So, I finally just bought my new rig: EVGA A1 Mobo (w/ 6 SATA Slots), 2 WD Raptors (SATA - Gonna RAID 0 Boot), 4 Seagate 320GB Barracuda's (SATA - Gonna RAID 5 Storage).
However, I realized I also bought 2 DVD-RW drives, in SATA *Eek! not enough SATA ports on the mobo...

So a couple of questions follow:
1) Is SATA really faster for DVD-RW drives than IDE?
2) Is there anyway to Inline/Series the (2) SATA DVD-RW drives, kinda like you do with IDE (Master/Slave)?
3) Are there any SATA-->IDE reverse adaptors (not the opposite, I know those exist)?
4) Based on the above answers, should I:

• a) Get a PCI-E SATA RAID Card to Handle One of the RAID Arrays, and keep the DVD-RW drives as SATA? (although those are dang expensive, AND I don't know where that PCI Card is gonna fit - got an 8800gtx, PCI Slot-Cooler, Wifi card... an extra slot but no room down there)
• b) Return the DVD-RW SATA drives and get (2) IDE DVD-RW drives?
• Another option that won't require me spending a lot of money?

Eesh, I'm kinda stuck on my build if I don't have a CD Drive to read from for Windows Install(I don't have any extra ones sittin around - and I want to install my RAID 5 Storage array right away)

Suggestions?*Confused
