Do you see it in File Explorer?

If you're trying to view a media disk (blu-ray or DVD movie), then Windows 10 does not natively support that and third party software is required. If you're just trying to read a media disk and you cannot see the drive in File Explorer (not Internet Explorer), then check to make sure you have solid cable connections (SATA and power) between the drive and the motherboard. Verify the motherboard SATA port you're connecting to isn't shared out or disabled by any other connected device (check your motherboard manual).

thank you for your help in this matter. I moved the drive to Sata port 4 and it came up seems that it had to be in a master port. now to curse at windows since they dont have a blu ray player in windows 10 i have to get one from a third party.

thanks again for your help
 


I've used Windows Media Player 12 that is included in Windows 10 to play Blu-ray discs. You just need to download and install the appropriate CODEC pack to make it work.
