However You could always try upgrading the firmware

I went there and got the firmware upgrade but early in the install this message: blah . . requires that your original CD writer or DVD writer software be installed on your computer. Please reinstall your original CD or DVD writer software and make sure HP RecordNow or HP MyCD has been successfully reinstalled.

The computer is a Compaq and I don't recognise those wares as ever being on my computer. Any ideas?
