Ok I was able to figure this out on my laptop and fix it. This was in a post from another user that had problems and it worked on my asus a53z laptop with the same dvd drive UJ8B0. Please check your burner device model, operating system, firmware version according to MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ 8 E 2 CD DVD HD-DVD BLU-RAY Burner Firmware 1.01 WINDOWS VERSION USERS. I'm just going to quote what I found.įree MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ 8 E 2 Firmware 1.01 driver download. Windows 10 just refuses to see the drive.Gyrphon I found this solution posted in the Microsoft Community.

The drive works in Ubuntu (Linux) just fine, so there's no hardware issue. For those suggesting swapping cables: my system is a laptop, and its not an option. The DVD is still in 'other devices' in Device Mgr, but the properties show it correctly identified and that its supposed to be working. Only problem is that didn't fix it either.
