After mounting the DVD player into your PC, you will need to install some
DVD Player software. If this is a new retail DVD-ROM, it should have came
with one on a CD. If this a used one, or you do not have a DVD Player
application, there are several that can be downloaded form the net. Here is
one for example:

No,that is not the problem,the system will not recognise the DVD player at all,playback of DVDs is not required,but want access to data DVDs.
Ideally so I can boot from DVD as well.
