I have a Samsung np350v5c laptop and have always been able to use the cd/dvd drive. I have been on windows 8.1 for a while but have noticed over the last month that the cd drive does not work anymore. If you enter a cd it doesn't recognise it, the d drive doesn't appear in windows explorer etc. From browsing this forum I found a solution in 2012 to change registry by adding
reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001
to cmd prompt which I did and rebooted. Initially the d drive reappeared, I left the laptop in sleep mode overnight but when I opened it up the d drive had disappeared again.
Under device manager it says the drive is ST1000LM024_HN-M101MBB. I have tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling, updating (says up to date) but no joy.
My partner has the exact same laptop so I checked his and his cd drive isn't working either so it must be a conflict between with windows 8.1 and not a failing cd drive.
Does anyone have any new ideas please?

2015-03-07T19:05:06+00:00 Based on the Hardware Id's the following driver should install as it has matching Hardware Ids in the .inf file:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23060/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-RAID-Driver
Can you download and run SetupRST.exe from the link.
Post back if the driver does not install.

2015-03-07T12:48:40+00:00 You appear to be looking at the Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller.
Is there an entry for the Intel storage controller?
It may look something like the following:
Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller
If the Intel controller is not under the Storage controllers category try under the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers category.
Sorry found it now under IDE controllers
There's 4 entries
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03&SUBSYS_C0D8144D&REV_04
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03&SUBSYS_C0D8144D
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03&CC_010601
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1E03&CC_0106
cheers
