Solved CD/DVD unit not recognized

[Stephengca]

After upgrading to Windows 8, my CD/DVD unit (a Samsung - TSST corp CDDVDW Sh-S223L) will not be recognized unless a disc is inserted before boot. Then disc can be removed and new one inserted later.
Any assistance appreciated. Stephen

Sounds like driver issue. Suggest that you check out your dvd manufacturer's support site and see driver for windows 8.

Thanks jaysonkurt, I agree. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a new driver. May have to wait until Samsung or TSST corp offer a Windows 8 driver.
