Hello, I have a HP Compaq Presario. I know, not great but it was free and it does ok for now.
Anyway, I had to reinstall windows and as it wasn't the original hard drive that came with the computer, it didn't have all the preinstalled gumph where I could re-install from the drive. Luckily, the key label was still on the desktop so I borrowed a windows disc (remember disc) and reinstalled windows, done all the updates etc. and everything was fine.
Last week I went to record some music onto my computer but nothing happened when I put the disc in. I checked the drivers in Device Manager and there is no CD drive there! I have gone onto the HP site but that is no help and I can't find anywhere where I can get the drivers from HP. So I was able to install Windows using the disc drive but now it doesn’t work.
I had a look inside and it is all connected ok and I took a note of the model (HP DH-16AAL-DT2).
Basically, what I need are the drivers. The HP site seems to be no use so please don’t send me a link to main customer support page (unless you have a further link within that).
Do any of you have a driver you can send me or can you direct me reputable site where I can download one from. There are a lot of sites out there which claim to have them but I worried about spyware/adware etc. I’ve got a good av but it’s still not worth the risk.
