Windows 10: I want to install and connect the ASUS External slim optical drive

I want to install and connect the ASUS External slim optical drive

:)

 

Installation Drive Not Found After Upgrade WIN10

• I upgraded to WIN 10 from a usb 2.0 optical disk drive.

• After the upgrade the device is no longer listed on the device manager.

• The drive is still listed in the BIOS.

• No flags or errors appear in the device manager.

• Windows plays a tone when the optical drive is connected via usb.

• Adding a registry key had no effect. I tried from elevated cmd/regedit windows.

The drive is an ASUS SBC-06D2X-U External Slim Blu-ray Combo

Your help is appreciated.

 

ASUS Readies Slim, Stylish External DVD-Writer Drive

ASUS showed off a new compact external DVD-Writer drive, a yet to be named model that the company refers to as the "Extreme Slim External DVD-RW Drive." The drive is roughly the size of two CD cases, at 14 mm thickness. It is essentially a notebook/slim optical drive inside a sleek, gray brushed-metal enclosure that takes both power and connectivity from its USB 2.0 cable. The unit weighs 320 g. The drive writes DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW at 8x, DVD-RW, double-layer DVD-R/+R at 6x, and DVD-RAM at 5x. CD-R is written at 24x, CD-RW at 16x. ASUS did not give out pricing details, yet.

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?
