HP 8000 Elite SFF PC
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

When I tried to use the DVD-CD drive it would not load. I went to "Computer" and it was not recognized in the drives. When I ran troublshooting it told me the drivers are either missing or damaged. I searched the HP site but cannot find the drivers for the DVD-CD ROM drive. This PC is used in my recording studio and I am completely down until this is resolved. I tried the DVD-CD drive from an HP 6005 SFF PC and it has the same problem. When I changed out the drives, it asked me to press F1 for hardware changes, so I know the PC recognized it. I need to get this going ASAP since there is a deadline for a mixdown completion so I can release 3 musicians who are costing me bucks!!! Thanks
