Updated video description: Some people have been messaging me telling me this video doesn't work for them. Unfortunately I can't physically go to your computer and figure out why it worked for me but doesn't work for you. I am only showing you that it worked for me, MAYBE it will work for you too, if not there's not really anything I can do. Everyone has different hardware, not mentioning the fact that software gets updated all the time and things change. Sorry.

Original video description:
Not soon after I installed Windows 8, I tried to load up a DVD and found that I couldn't find the DVD-ROM drive! Here's the solution I found on the microsoft website. Copy the code below as instructed in the video:
reg.exe add "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Controller0" /f /v EnumDevice1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001
