Hello eXistenZ,

Go to the vendor webpage, find the drivers for it and install them.

The vendor is Microsoft - I've googled without success.
Any other suggestions all?

Hello eXistenZ,

I think MS is not the vendor of the drive, check the drive itself for the
vendor. Because it can not read the info from it, there will be only a disk
drive presented and that's the reason for the MS description. So open the
machine and have a look.

Use Device Manager to remove the drive. Restart and let Windows discover the
New Hardware and install a driver for it. DVD/CD ROM drives do not reqire a
driver from the manufacturer.

Windows should install the following driver set:
cdrom.sys
redbook.sys
storprop.dll
