    How to make CD.DVD drive appear in File Explorer


    I have Windows 10 on my Surface Book with an LG CD/DVD player. For the first time I tried to use File Explorer to burn an Audio CD. Using the Send To feature, I could find CD/DVD drive showing. How do I make it appear on File Explorer?


    I'd appreciate the help.

    :)

  2. CD/DVD drive won't play CDs & does not appear in This PC list in File Explorer

    Hello --

    The CD/DVD drive on my older PC with Windows 10 has stopped playing CDs, and the drive does not appear under This PC in File Explorer.

    - Yet Device Manager lists the drive and under Properties>General states "This device is working properly."

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Further details:

    - This is a reconditioned Lenovo ThinkPad T430s, running Windows 10 Pro

    - The drive is Matsushita DVD-RAM UJ8C2 with up-to-date Microsoft driver

    - Before it stopped playing and showing up in Explorer, some CDs were intermittently recognized within WMP. I thought this might be b/c of disc condition (borrowed from public library).
