The system is not able to detect my DVD drive

My dvd drive is not listed in the devices category. If i open retroarch, The option that in summary would allow me to load a dvd disk from the drive is not being offered to me which is something that was there when I was using linux mint. The dvd drive was also visible in the devices category in linux mint. I tried with inxi too but even in that, it is not listed. How do I make the operating system detect my dvd drive?

Try this

Terminal:
Note: running with sudo does not work
su root
Password
echo sg > /etc/modules-load.d/sg.conf
Exit
Reboot

Edit: if the drive is empty it will not be displayed in devices, only when loaded as far as i know

You were right.

Thank you for your help.
