Hi,

Thank you. I have had a look on the HP website and the only thing that I
could come up with is that you disabled the drive whilst changing some
settings in your BIOS (possibly the screen that you can't remember). I
provide a link to the following section of the HP website: 'HP Notebook PCs -
Troubleshooting Optical Drive Detection Problems'. Hopefully, you should be
able to find what you need here to solve your problem.
