Thank you for posting on HP Forums,
The Barachiel is at your service.
I understand you are in need of support,
I'll be glad to help you out, however, for an accurate solution I will need more details:
Have you attempted any steps on your own before posting on the HP Forums?
When was the last time it worked without these issues?
In the meantime, please try the steps mentioned below:
Re-start the notebook and keep tapping Esc key. You'll get the boot device options, use the arrow keys and select the CD/DVD ROM drive. 🙂
Please reply with the details for further assistance.
Eager to help!
