I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and have just discovered that my CD-DVD drive does not recognise any CDs or DVDs. I realise that it is possible that the drive has suddenly failed but upon further investigation feel that this might not be the case.
1. I have a ASUS DRW-24F1ST which is on the Microsoft Verified Hardware Compatibilty list for Windows 10.
2. The driver that is installed is from Microsoft dated 6/21/2006 version 10.0.10586.0 and digitally signed by "Microsft Windows". When I try to update the driver it says that I have the latest version. And when I uninstall the device and reboot, the system puts back exactly the same driver.
3. In Hardware Manager the device shows up with one of those warning yellow triangles containg "!" and in the Device Status box of the general tab of the properties it says:
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
Code 52, according top the web, is exactly that message.
4. I have looked this up on the internet and it suggests going to the manufacturers website for a new driver, but Asus has nothing for this model, in fact the original accompanying CD did not contain any drivers, just a link to their website to update firmware - this process also indicates there are no updates of any kind for this model.
5. I have tried booting into safe mode but that gets me nothing, does not even suggest the drive is a CD-DVD Rom.
6. This drive worked perfectly under Windows 7, in fact I used it to upgrade to Windows 10 a mere 8 weeks ago, and I have not even tried using the drive since until this week.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas, or even simple ideas in case I have overlooked something.
Thanks in advance
Paul
