Does the drive that Windows7 calls BD-ROM drive really support Blue-Ray?

Question

I have a drive in my machine that Windows 7 lists as a BD-ROM drive. In fact, it lists it twice, along with another DVD RW drive, when in fact I only have one physical optical drive on my machine.

Given that there's no Blu-Ray logo on the drive itself, I'm presuming that it doesn't actually support Blu-Ray. But how can I be sure? And how do I disillusion Windows 7?

Answer 1

You could check the validity of the drive by looking in the device manager. Sometimes if you run applicatioins such as Alcohol 120%, daemon tools, power iso and so on they make virtual drives, which might appear as Blu-ray drives.
