    My cd and dvd rewriteable optical drive in my dv8000t is having problems. When i first boot up the computer, the movie dvd in the drive spins for a few seconds and occasionally starts playing by itself. However, My Computer doesn't recognize that there is a disc in the drive, and trying to eject it either with the button on the drive or by clicking eject from My Computer does nothing. I looked on www.hp.com for an optical drive driver, but there isn't one. Anyone know how to fix this?
