    Windows 8 CD/DVD not recognized unless disc inserted before boot

    Greetings, I hope that this thread is acceptable in this forum. After upgrading to Windows 8 my CD/DVD unit (a Samsung - TSST corp CDDVDW Sh-S223L) will not be recognized unless a disc is inserted before boot. Then disc can be removed and new one inserted later. Any assistance appreciated. Stephen
