I installed a DVD RW in a T340 with Essentials. When I click on Windows Explorer, it does not show the drive. How do I get it to recognize the drive?

If BIOS is not showing DVD as @DELL-Young E mentioned, you can check the connectivity and ensure both Power and Data cables are properly connected to the DVD. Below video have more details on same

Hi,when you start the PC, press F2 to go into the BIOS and check if you see DVD device in SATA.
