Device manager is always the best place to see if it's listed there and if there's any problems like a driver that hasn't been installed.

I bet your DVD drive still has the Win8 DVD inserted.

Put a disc into your blu ray drive and report back.

Drives hide by default until you put a disk in (think this is since Windows 7).
