DVD drives access denied
Here's a weird one. Win 8.1 Pro

New computer with a transferred SSD HD.

Everything works fine except for the two DVD drives.

Both say Location is not available
Z: is no accessible
Access is denied

In Advanced Security the Owner is : Unable to display current owner. 

When you hit change it says Cant open access control editor. unable to performoperation on an object that has no associated security.



I tried removing them and reinstalling in Device manager
I tried taking ownership 
I tried the upperFilters fix
I tried running the Fix it troubleshooter
I tried adding the registry subkey to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks!

What is this "New computer with a transferred SSD HD"?

This is not vanilla plain new installation? You have transferred SSD from another computer? If this is a case, then no wonder that you have problems. Reinstall.
