Replying to Avatar beejay

I offered to install Linux Mint for someone on a Windows PC (brand new) and before beginning the setup, I verified everything was running perfectly, including the CD/DVD drive, which is now not recognized at all on Linux Mint 22.

Any tips? I have scoured the search engines, Linux forums, Reddit, etc. for weeks. If the hardware was working before install (and I did not move or bump the machine after that)

It's OK if you don't know, I'd appreciate if you please just boost this note 🙏 TY in advance #asknostr #linux #linuxhelp

Check internally if the connection is loose or disconnected?

It is not a very common thing to happen, but neither is a basic CD ROM driver not discovering your hardware.

Often times we have issues with closed source hardware like webcams and fingerprint sensors, not CD ROM drives.
