I must be missing something. I have a Blu-Ray drive that opens/closes as expected but isn't recognized by Windows 7. I confirmed the drive works in another machine. My MOBO has 4 SATA and 2 are being used by SATA HDs. The SONY DVD and LG DVD are old IDE drives. I have 2 open SATA but needed to use a molex/sata converter from monoprice for the Blu-Ray's power. What am I missing? Shouldn't windows just find the next open letter drive and that's it?
