When I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, the external drive no longer worked. I could hear that its power was on, but the drive did not appear in “This PC” and neither did it appear in the Device Manager. It was as if the drive was completely invisible to Windows 10. I found the solution here: What follows is the info I got from there, rewritten for completely ignorant people (like me). With the external drive plugged into the USB ports, open up the Device Manager (if you don’t know how, simply type “device manager” into the search box and click on it). First, look to see if the drive is listed there but with an exclamation mark next to it if so, that’s a different problem and you’ll need to look somewhere else for the solution. If your external drive is completely missing from Device Manager, look to see if there is an entry called “Initio Combo Device Class”. If so, see what happens if you unplug the external drive. If the “Initio Combo” thing disappears, then that’s the problem: Windows 10 is mistaking your Blu-Ray drive for this useless Initio thing. No? That stalled everything for me that day till I got it copied to usb drive and the original problem remains the same even now. The data from OS installer CD? It could simply have let me skip that specific driver installation. now what was the problem for it reading rest of It had done already half the work fine with it default driver. Now why I am writing it all over here cause there wasn't any as such problem if your installer didn't get unexpected flue in middle of things. So that firmware upgrade don''t apply to my drive. I went for LG support but there is no such driver there but a firmware for GP65NB60 (my drive too) but with SVG code NB60 instead of NB70 of mine. Now the problem is usb aint that safe from corruption as can be saidĪbout genuine installer CD. what happened to it halfway? Then I have to copy it to usb drive from another machine then installed it from it. Your installer asked for its driver CD & strictly refused to progress without it. But suddenly half way between installation OS installation got started as usual from my original Windows 7 installation disk.
I came home and connected the LG writer through USB port. What happened I lost that driver CD of LG in the huss fuss at the seller shop itself. I brought a Acer ultra slim laptop with external LG dvd writer to load OS if required from its CD cause it came with linux.
