I just bought a new Windows 8 computer. I swapped the CD-DVD drive that came with it for my better performing Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200S.

The drive runs incredibly slow. If I go in the Computer (drives) area of Windows and click on the drive to read a disk, it takes about 3 minutes to display the contents. Also, after the first time I open the tray to insert a disk, after that when I open it it opens and closes immediately. I have to grab the tray and hold it with my hand to insert or remove a disk. After that I have to push it all the way back in, that is, it won't retract automatically as I push it in.

And ideas what's wrong?
