Hi Paul,
I tried using an external CD/DVD drive and it works perfectly.
So I apologize for the trouble. Apparently the drive which was sent installed within the HP Z420 workstation came defective.
Thank you for your help, and may God bless you this week !
Sincerely,
Eric Wilson

Anytime, Eric.
If you want to replace the internal drive, the part number is 660408-001, and you can find several used but tested and working drives on eBay:
May God Bless you as well and have a great week!
Cheers,
Paul
