Device works as a DVDRom/CDRom, but not a burner.
Device shows up as HP BD MLT UJ240AF in device manager.
Update driver states that the most up to date driver is used. (Default Microsoft 21/06/2006 6.1.7601.23403)
Uninstalling and rebooting comes back as the same.
I have driver recovery disks but there are no drivers on there for the burner.
Cannot find the driver anywhere on the Probook or Elitebook support pages. (Win7 Both 32 & 64 bit and for models either side of the 6560b or 8560w.
Anyone??

Device-drivers for CD/DVD/BluRay drives is included in Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10.
No additional device-drivers are needed.
What you need is software to collect files to be "burned", and to actually do the "burning".
I use the "Burning Studio 16", which is free software, downloadable from www.ashampoo.com
Note that Version 18 has a purchase price, while Version 16 is free.

Drivers, correct. (I checked 4 other Win7 PCs and they are using the same driver)
Windows 7 can write to CD natively. You dont need additional software for that.
Right click on file> Send To>Whatever drive your burner is.
or
When you put a blank disk in it Autoplay prompts you to:
Burn an audio CD
Burn files to disc
Just for a laugh I installed Roxio (that it ships with) and it cant find it either.
I just swapped out burners from 2 other laptops and the same thing is happening - even when it shows as being a DVD RW drive. Also took the upgrade bay out and put it back in there. (DVD is in a dock and runnning 2 SSDs)
Something else specific to that system is going on.... 😞
Thanks

Correct, but additional software can do more, e.g., create an '.ISO' file, copy a CD/DVD, insert longer gaps between tracks when burning an Audio CD, burn multiple copies, and much more.

If you open the Window File Manager, does it show, as below:
???
> it shows as being a DVD RW drive.
Where does it "show" ?
Just for giggles, Google-search for "download free SPECCY".
Download, install, and run it, and see what it reports about your hardware.
Tell us.
> Also took the upgrade bay out and put it back in there. (DVD is in a dock and runnning 2 SSDs)
Run SPECCY in both configurations, and tell us.
Are the 2 SSDs in the computer (1 in standard location & 1 in upgrade bay - replacing the CD/DVD drive), or in the dock?
Does the [free] AShampoo software "find" the CD/DVD hardware?
