What Blu-Ray driver? Optical drives are not dependent on any Blu-Ray driver to be recognized by the system. If a drive isn't recognized, then you need to perform the "delete upper and lower filters fix".

Please read post #24 in this thread: http://forums.driverguide.com/showthread.php?t=21669&page=4

It contains instructions on the delete the upper and lower filters fix

Also, there is a STICKY posted in this forum that contains a file from Microsoft and instructions that will do this registry edit automatically instead of having to do it manually.
