you can also boot some live distro, Ubuntu for example and check if the ROM will work here (OS related problem) or not (HW related).<br />
Or when I am thinking about it, it is enough to try to boot anything (memTest) to be sure if it is HW or OS related :)

HP Pavilion P7-1110 with W7 (32 bit). &nbsp;The DVD/CD will not read or write. &nbsp;The BIOS indicates that it is there as a SATA2 device. &nbsp;The DVD/CD model is HP DVD A DH16ABSH ATA. &nbsp;Windows does not show the drive under &quot;Computer&quot;. &nbsp;Device Manager shows a &quot;yellow&quot; caution or exclamation mark. &nbsp;I've deleted the device, restarted the system but that did not solve the problem. &nbsp;I've looked for new drivers but the system indicates that this is the most current driver. &nbsp;I'm guessing that the device is inoperative needs replacement. &nbsp;Is there anything else I can try to be sure that it is a bad drive before replacing it?

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
