I have a msi laptop it was on windows 7 , I upgraded to windows 8 now dvd drive won't work.
Strang thing is if I reformat and put fresh copy of windows 8 on the drive works, but once its on there no dvd drive again.
Been into propertys even downloaded new drivers nothing works.
Been getting round problem by copying anyfile on dvd that I want by using my other computer ang copying file to flash drive, would like to have it working right.

check that it's in Bios

If so, download and install drivers for it. If not, check its cables are installed properly - both ends.

@i7baby, if it was an issue with BIOS detection, he wouldn't be able to boot from CD at all and install windows 8. The claim is he can't see it when he boots into windows, not at post.
