      make sure you have the cd drivers installed. These are the iso drivers in the binary package. Basically make a 'drivers' subdirectory in refind and copy the cd iso driver to this new directory. Make sure you use the correct architecture e.g., 32-bit or 64-bit.

      This stumped me for a while then refind finally recognized a cd...now I have a new problem related to the legacy error discussed elsewhere on this forum.

    you need to edit your .config file to add searching for the optical drive

    Mine is as follows:

    scanfor internal,hdbios,optical,external

    scan_driver_dirs EFI/tools/drivers,drivers

    Which types of boot loaders to search, and in what order to display them:

    internal - internal EFI disk-based boot loaders

    external - external EFI disk-based boot loaders

    optical - EFI optical discs (CD, DVD, etc.)

    hdbios - BIOS disk-based boot loaders

    biosexternal - BIOS external boot loaders (USB, eSATA, etc.)

    cd - BIOS optical-disc boot loaders

    manual - use stanzas later in this configuration file

    Default is internal,external,optical

    scanfor internal,external,optical,cd

    is not so? driver and put them in efi/refind/drivers_x64
