I am running windows 7 home premium. My Hp Dvd-Ram Gh80n does not recognize any blu-ray dvds -these are store bought. I have tried several different dvds, & was able to play them on different devices (IE: ps3, laptop, dvd player). Device manager shows no issues or updates avail.  auto play is checked, tried a read  disc from command prompt-get a device not ready & status no media for list volume. If i put in a NON blu-ray I get the dvd info with healthy status.
