When I left his house he called me saying the cd drive would keep opening everytime he closed it? Does anyone have a solution or idea of what might be causing this.

The drive button may be stuck or have a dirty or loose contact, cleaning and a quick inspection may sort this.
1st you could try uninstalling the drive in the device manager and then reboot the PC and use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install the drive and see if that helps.

I will be more than happy to assist you but can you first clarify what you wish to delete!@phillpower2 do you think you can guide me through on how to delete it right so i wont mess up the computer?
Both the CD drive and Windows 7 can be uninstalled but technically speaking neither can be deleted effectively.
