What are you trying to do ? To burn CD/DVD or to play CD/DVD. Probably your machine does NOT have internal CD/DVD drive therefore no software to come with it. Vendor of the external drive should supply software for you to use with their product. The Cyberlink suite from HP should work but who knows.

 

Anyway, to play CD/DVD, please use the following free software. Please download and install to your machine
