Presario V6500 CD-Drive not working on Win 7

Benuk said:

I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64x to my HP Presario V6500. Everything seemed to go smoothly but I have now noticed that my DVD drive is no longer detected by windows and after looking in device manager I have no CD/DVD drive listed but a error on coprocessor which I guess could be related? I have tried searching for a solution and looked for drivers on HP website but no luck yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I would hate to downgrade to Vista again.
