Greetings. I am attempting to boot tails via DVD using the internal DVD drive on an ASUS K75DE laptop. For some reason, BIOS won't read the DVD drive. I turned on legacy boot and turned off secure boot protection in the BIOS settings thinking it would help, yet I am still having the same issue.

The only two things I think the problem would be is either I may need to flash the BIOS or it may be a hardware problem with the built in DVD drive because the DVD drive is a brand that I have never heard of before (MATSHITA) and the laptop itself is a refurbished laptop that I purchased off Newegg.

Any help would be amazing. Thanks in advance.

Dumb question - in the BIOS is the boot order set so the dvd is searched before the other drives?
