But the problem is, that none of these solution worked for me and my Device Manager recognizes the DVD ROM (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GUC0N) but in the wrong category.

Hello, I have a Toshiba Satelite T135RD-S1325RD with Windows 7. Since it's a notebook, it did not come with a CD drive so I recently purchased the 'USB 2.0 Slim Portable Optical Drive.'

While the Optical Drive reads CDs just fine, it refuses to read DVDs, which was the reason why I bought the thing in the first place. My computer says that the optical drive is working just fine, but it just will not recognized DVDs. I don't know how to fix it and no where is telling me how to unless I pay $50 or something for a program that is not guaranteed to work. Can anybody help me?
