One of these may help:
1. Uninstall the drive through Device Manager.
Restart computer. The drive will be automatically reinstalled.
or...
2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

or...
3. Download, and run Restore Missing CD Drive patch
Double click on cdgone.zip to unzip it.
Right click on cdgone.reg, click Merge.
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer.
or...
4. Go to Device Manager, click a "+" sign next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
You'll see two items:

Right click on each of them, and click Uninstall. Confirm.
Restart Windows. They'll be automatically reinstalled.

Ok I did #1 and no change. Then I did #2 and it states "The computer settings already match this Microsoft Fix it and no changes have been made". I then did #3 and no change and also did #4 and no change. I'm not sure what else to do, it the drive fried? The drive shows up in the device manager but it does not show up in my computer. Thank hou for any other suggestions.

I'm afraid, you need a new drive.

I was afraid you were going to say that. Are they easy to replace as far as I can do it myself? Thank you so much for trying.

You can definitely do it yourself.
Basically, it's slide out, slide in operation.
You just need to order proper drive at HP.
