Blu-Ray drive not Found

[AnnaT]

I have a Lite-On DH-401S Blu-ray drive that MakeMKV does not find...No drive found error.
I am running Vista 32 and latest MakeMKV v1.3 Beta.

Do you support this Blu-Ray drive in your beta version 1.3?

Hi Anna,

Please check that you have admin rights, because computer administrator privileges are required to run the beta version. This is limitation of Windows SCSI application programming interface. The full version of MakeMKV will not require administrator privileges to run.

Hope this will help

See the newer post titled: Cannot access drive with AHCI on

2 of us so far have found we cannot be running in AHCI mode in order for MKV to access our media drives.

Yes!! That was it Dandirk...Wont work with AHCI...Thanks!

Don't thank me, thank the poster in the other thread. He found the issue, his work around just happened to work for me too.

Guys, can you please enable "log debug messages" in preferences dialog, switch back to AHCI, restart makemkv and see if it prints any messages in the log window at all when it does not find the drive?

The program can't find any usable optical drives. The BETA version requires administrative privileges for drive access.
