DVD Drive Repair is a useful application that allows you to restore your DVD (Optical) Drive if missing from Windows. In some instances, it can also help when certain applications do not recognize your drive; mostly when your computer encountered a hardware problem or a virus attack that prevents it from using the DVD Drive.
When your DVD Drive is not recognized by Windows even if it is functional, normally you consider reinstalling Windows or restoring it to a previously functional version using System Restore. However, this will not be necessary when using this tool. DVD Drive Repair intends to help you avoid taking radical measures that are time consuming and can cost you. Some even attempt to replace the DVD Drive with a new one when these errors occurs.
Before you attempt to get your DVD Drive back, please create a System Restore point first, just for in case something goes wrong. You can create a System Restore Point by clicking on the Click here to create a System Restore Point link on the main program interface. It is also recommended that you update the device firmware to the latest version before attempting to repair the drive. You can do this by clicking on the Update Firmware (FirmwareHQ.com) link.

Thank you – this worked following a recent Windows 10 upgrade which subsequently gave an exclamation mark against my LG DVD drive in DeviceManager, and wouldnt recognise the drive. Windows troubleshooter didn’t work, uninstalling device and ATA controllers didn’t work but this program fixed it!

It did not work for me.In device manager there is no dvd/cd device.
I tried 3 different dvd writers so a hardware problem of all 3 is not likely.
Yep, same here.
Hello there,
I want support your product
And translate your software into Arabic
If not translated to Arabic
If the program needs to update the Arabic translation
If supports multiple languages
and UTF-8 encoding
I think at the moment it does not matter changing the user interface to “right to left” because there is a lot of work out there.
I hope accepting my invitation with the full support for your software
please replay with agree or disagree,
we don’t take money
Also Please write the program name and download link

You can translate it. Look in the Language folder for the en.ini file and translate that into Arabic. Send that file to me and I will include it in the next release.
Hi. I tried this but it didn’t work for me. I virtually never need my dvd disk but I just bought a new printer and wanted to install the drivers from the cd that came with it. I noticed that the drive wouldn’t open by pressing it in and when I go to File Explorer it doesn’t show. I tried the Microsoft Command fix but that didn’t work and found my way to your site. I downloaded your software and ran it then rebooted and my DVD/CD drive still does not show on File Explorer. Does this sound like a hardware problem? Or is there anything else I can do to try and fix it? My device manager shows the DVD/CD-ROM drive as MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8E1.
If you press the eject button on the DVD drive and it does not open, it most likely is a hardware problem.
Just tried this – nothing works for me!
It does not work all the time. It could be a hardware error; hardware errors can’t be fixed with software tools. If you explain your issue, I can try to assist you.
Looking forward to trying this software–but the program says I need to update to Build 852, and when I click on the 852 update link, it actually opens Build 828. Can I get the actual 852 version?
Its fixed now 🙂
My Windows 7 laptop sees that there is a DVD drive in My Computer. My issue is that when I put in a CD, it seems like it is trying to read the CD, but then stops. Would this be the right tool to try or is there a better one?
After Windows 10 Creators update (Version 1703) no dvd devices in explorer. DVD Drive Repair worked fine. Now both devices are available in explorer again.
