LG BH10LS30 Optical not recognised on SATA, Extreme 7 Gen 3 Win 7 64

Hello,
Optical worked to load Win 7, and then loaded Asrock driver CD fine (via USB), but optical no longer works with CD tray popped out all the time.

Have you tried unplugging the power and sata connectors and reinstalling the connectors?

 

[BDVS]

Yes - I think the issue is the ATAPI driver, or the lack of it...but Windows thinks it's fine!

Try uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it.

Tried that, and looking around I can't find anyone who has got it working on Win 7 64. If anyone has I'd love to hear from them and how they did it! Unfortunate that the spec sheet doesn't seem to have a warning that it doesn't work on Win 7 64. Nice device otherwise.

Update - problem is fundamentally that while the LG BlueRay drive could initially be seen by the BIOS and booted OS from it, now it can be still be seen by the BIOS, but will not boot the Win OS CD - CD tray popped out all the time, and requesting media to be inserted - but no change when you do it. Asrock Extreme 7 Gen 3 MBO - tried every which drive/boot option without success. Need some inspiration!! Also Asmedia does not offer RAID option which it is supposed to.....

Final update - eventually decided problem was with drive rather than driver. Had it swapped out and all is now fine. Win 7 64 does support it ok.
