I agree. Like I said, Windows 10 should definitely not need ANY drivers for any CD, DVD or Blu Ray drive, especially if it's more than a year old and that one is fairly old at 11 years old. My guess would be that it's just faulty.
You might want to try a different cable, and you might also want to try right clicking the device in device manager and selecting update drivers automatically.
Is the device recognized in the BIOS?
Hi, yes, I see it in the bios and in windows system screen

but it will not show up in the windows explorer as a drive. I tried different cables.
I know its old, might be a dud, might be why I got it for free, but now its becoming a challenge, I will probably waste a lot of time and energy on this but that's half the fun. LOL
