Hi, Can you prove that any of the drives will work in another PC? It seems strange that you have at least two drives with a possible 'dirty' lens problem but you never know. Try cleaning the lens in the drive (Google it if unsure on what to do) and see if that is the problem.

will those optical drive laser cleaning disks work without an operating system?

Hi, I'm fairly sure that it wont. Here is a link that shows how to dis-assemble a ODD to clean the lens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZkCN_yx...

Have you tried one of your drives in another PC to prove it one way or the other?

von

well i only have one working desktop

and where can i find "spirit" in the video the guy says it is needed to clean the lens

Hi Chris,

Just verifying. Have you connected your ODD to Sata port 5 and selected the BIOS setting for this port to IDE?

Here are two images from the User Manual.

Hi Chris,

An ODD is an Optical Disc Drive.

You need to connect the ODD Sata cable to Sata port No.5 on the motherboard. Here is an image

Then you need to go into BIOS and set Sata port 5 to IDE. Leave the HDD set to AHCI. Don't forget to save your changes in BIOS.

Can you confirm that windows is registering the drive?

Also make sure that you don't have it assigned to a RAID. A customer brought me a computer he bought from a friend that was having this same issue, and the drive was assigned to RAID 1 rendering the drive inoperable, and in most cases looked like the drive wasn't even there, even though it showed up in BIOS.

the drive looks visible in the bios so the motherboard seems to be seeing it
