These devices usually do not require drivers as these are already provided by Windows.
Is there a problem with the PC ‘seeing’ the drive?
Does it appear under My PC?
Does it show under Device manager?
I want to install and connect the ASUS External slim optical drive

If you’re experiencing problems with this then please explain further.
