I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a Compaq Presario 5000 and for some unknown reason, I am now recieving a message telling me to plug my cd burner in, when I try to use it. I haven't unplugged in, and in fact, have changed nothing in my computer, and therefore, have no idea why this is happening. I am pretty illiterate, and therefor am not even sure where to look for the cd burner. Thanks to any and all who can advise me.

Either a cable went bad or your burner is dying. I had that same message when my old HP 7200i (Philips drive) went south.

Go to the device panel to see what Windows is reporting.
