Hi, open Device Manager and check if the ODD is listed under "DVD/CD-ROM drives." If it's listed but has a yellow exclamation mark, there might be a driver issue. There are specific ODDs available for this model laptop, check this forum for a thread with a similar topic.

Hi, thanks for reply, the DVD drive isn't even showing in device manager, so im totally at a loss with it, is there any specific setting in bios? the DVD drive is a "Hitachi Lg gud1n" windows 10 compatible.

Hi, there maybe be a Sata interface issue, find that post on this forum that I mentioned or google your topic, also check Zandparts.com if they have a compatible ODD.
