My in-laws upgraded to Win 10 from Win 7 on their HP s5220f. Since that upgrade the CD/dvd drive no longer works or is recogniozed by the computer. It does not show up in the list of devices in Device manager either. When you insert a disc it spins up but obliously nothing happens, and from the file explorer window the drive is not visible.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Here's what I found for the solution:
This worked to fix my Windows 10 system. Note this mentions 32-bit but did work for my 64 bit Windows 10. This was taken from http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03280768
Resolution 5: Create a registry subkey
Note To use this method, you must be logged on to Windows as an administrator. If you need help verifying that you are an administrator, go to http://support.microsoft.com/gp/admin
Important Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.
To create the registry subkey, follow these steps:
Press the Windows logo key + R to open the Run box. (or right-click on windows icon in lower left corner)
Type regedit in the Run box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
In the navigation pane, locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi
Right-click atapi, point to New, then click Key.
Type Controller0, and then press Enter.
Right-click Controller0, point to New, and then click DWORD(32-bit) Value .
Type EnumDevice1, and then press Enter.
Right-click EnumDevice1, click Modify....
Type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.Restart Computer

In following your directions to fix windows 10 upgrade with resultant unrecognizes CD drive, when I get to the line that says to, "click DWORD(32-bit) Value " do I still choose this if my computer is Windows 10 64-bit value? Or should I choose the 64-bit value?

ANSWER: If you have a 64-bit Windows 10 system do NOT use the 64-bit option. Instead do exactly as instructed (with 32-bit option) and it will work! I did this fix on my HP Pavilion Slimline S5-2010 desktop computer - on which I had upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 - and it works like a charm! I am extremely happy! THANK YOU! 😄
