Windows 7: HP Pavillion DV9000

Hi,

was wondering if anyone could help me please, i installed windows 7 onto my laptop a while ago and as i don't use my CD-ROM very much i've only recently realised it no longer works, i've had a look under device management and 'coprocessor' has a yellow triangle by it and ! mark ?

I'm really useless when it comes to technology but was wondering if anyone could help me in finding out how to fix this problem please?

i've tried to update driver software but that does not work, and states windows could not find driver software for your device

and underneath properties it states;

"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There is no driver selected for the device information set or element."



thanks again for any help really appreciate it

Hi LOu33z,welcome to the forums, download and reinstall the chipset drivers Software & Driver Downloads HP Pavilion dv9000 CTO Notebook PC - HP technical support (United Kingdom - English) you may have to install them in compatibility mode for Vista as they are the only drivers supported

thankyou the coprocessor now doesnt have the yellow triangle or ! mark, i cant see it at all anymore, but now i don't have any CD ROM registered what so ever on my devices! any help please?

i only have my C and D drives that's it nothing to do with my CD rom at all

Hi LOu33z, Glad we got the coprocessor sorted for you, Is the cd drive listed in device manager? It's quite normal for it not to show in windows explorer

LOu33z, have a look here Your CD or DVD drive can't read or write media see if this will fix the problem

Hi thank you for getting back to me, the CDrom is not listed in the device manager at all, there isn't even an option to do with CDrom drive in any of the lists on my device manager, i've done the scan from the above link, (thankyou very much btw) and it states;

"windows didnt detect an optical disc drive. It might be disconnected or unplugged. check the drive connection, or plug the drive in."

? any ideas please? thankyou so much for all your help

LOu33z, Have you tried removing the cd drive from the laptop and reinserting it back in ,I have Known of occasions when drives have come slightly adrift from their socket
