    Hi Richard,

    There are several factors that can cause your external drive to not read DVDs even though the system is recognizing the device. This could be caused by a driver that needs to updated or corrupted files. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions
    below:

    • Just to confirm, the device that is not working properly is a external DVD optical drive?
    • Were there any recent changes or updates installed on your computer?
    • Have you tried to plug the external drive to a different port on your computer?

    As a initial recommendation, we suggest that your run the built in troubleshooter in Windows 10. Kindly refer to the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.
    • Click on “View All” in the top left corner.
    • This will display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. You can click on
      Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

  3. How to format & initialize a Lacie 1TB GPT external drive with Win 10 to make it a proper exFAT one?

    Hello,

    Thank you posting your query in Microsoft community.

    I understand your concerns and I’ll help you out with this.

    Method 1: Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter

    I would suggest you to run hardware and devices troubleshooter and check if it helps. Please follow these steps:

    1. Type troubleshooting in the search box on taskbar. 

    2. Click troubleshooting in the search results.3. 

    3. Click "View all" and then click "Hardware and Devices". 

    4. Click "Next" and follow on-screen instructions. 

    Since, your external hard drive is listed in Device Management. Try the following steps.

    Method 2:



    Step 1: I suggest you to check in device manager if the external hard drive is listed there.

    1. Connect the external hard drive to the computer.

    2. To open device manager, type devmgmt.msc in start search box and hit Enter.

    3. Check if the external hard drive is listed.

    4. In device manager, expand the hard drive listed in the device list.

    5. If the hard drive is listed, right click on it >click Properties.

    6. In General, under device status check for the message. Post back if there is any error message.

    Step 2: Check if the external drive is getting detected in Disk Management.

    If it the hard drive recognizes in the disc management and if there is no drive letter assigned, I would suggest you right click on the drive and assign a drive letter and check if it helps:

    Try the following steps.

    1. Right click on start.

    2. Click Disk Management.

    3. Right-click the drive that you want to change, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.

    Do one of the following:

    a. To assign a drive letter if one has not already been assigned, click Add, click the letter that you want to use, and then click OK.

    b. To change a drive letter, click Change, click Assign the following drive letter, click the letter that you want to use, and then click OK.

    c. To remove a drive letter, click Remove, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to remove it.



    Note:

    • Some programs make references to specific drive letters. If you change a drive letter, these programs might not work correctly.

    • If you get an error, the drive you are trying to change might be in use. Close any program or window that is using the drive and try again.

    • You can't change a drive letter if the drive is either a system partition or a boot partition.


    Hope this helps. Please let us know the results. We will be glad to assist you further.
