SATA Blu-ray writer in 2008 Mac Pro under Windows 7

[Myria]

I installed an LG Blu-ray burner as a second drive, but I can't get it to work in Windows 7 64 SP1. Mac OS recognizes it properly, but Windows 7 doesn't.

I hacked my MBR and registry to boot Windows with AHCI mode, and Windows now reports that it's running in AHCI mode, but the drive doesn't show up.

I tried installing the Intel SATA raid controller drivers, but that didn't seem to work, either.

Any ideas? Thanks!

An addendum: This is an "early 2008" Mac Pro. This means that the Hitachi "SuperDrive" it came with is standard IDE/parallel ATA.

Does it appear in the device manager?

Try running microsoft update with the drive in place. Perhaps there is a driver from microsoft that will detect the drive.

Good luck.

Nope, it doesn't show in Device Manager. No, Windows Update doesn't show anything related to the drive.
