I have a Pavillion convertible which is six years old. I bought a cheap external CD drive from Amazon and connected it to my pc through the usb port. The drive connection appears in the "This PC" section, and a green line gradually fills the task bar. but not completely. A pop-up appears saying, "Insert Disc". Even after inserting the disc, nothing happens. The buffering symbol keeps buffering for hours. I have tried updating the drives through the HP support app. Nothing. I have also used the diagnostic and troubleshooting updates through HP, and restarting the pc. The OS is up to date and solid. As far as I can tell, there isn't anything wrong with the usb ports.
