| i dont know when this happened, but i left my house and
| when i came back either my mom or my brother did
| something to the computer so that my cd drive wont read
| any cd's anymore. its a hp cd-writer plus 8250i and it
| tries to read it, but then the light just blinks
| indicating that it didnt. there are no drives to update
| this with on the hp website. this has never happened
| before so if anyone could help that would be fantastic.
