Can you be more specific about "Arch Linux don't recognized it"?
Post the output of lsusb and dmesg.
Do you have an internal optical drive? If not, what's the output of 'cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info'?

Thank you for the answer, but when I connected it this time Arch Linux found it and now I can use it.

I think that the USB port makes the difference.

Sorry for the inconvenient.
