My cd/dvd burner driver is
Sounds like the drive likely died or became disconnected within the laptop. Since it is a laptop you should take it into a compaq service provider and ask them to replace or repair it, it will likely be cheap and fairly easy. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself however, unless you are familiar with the innards of a laptop. Hope this helps, good luck.

CD/DVD burner in Compaq Presario
Microsoft updates may not have the driver you are looking when it is searching for drivers. When you are in the device manager make a quick note to the name of the device and go to
http://www.compaq.com/country/cpq_support.html
and see if you can match the device to the driver for your pc. If you are able to find the correct driver and install it and still receive the same results then the drive itself may have a problem.

The DVD tray doesnt eject
either it is the ribbon wire, the motor that ejects the tray or the belt that connect the tray and motor is the problem. In case the above three are fine, replace the drive as the sparking might kill your moterboard.

you may need to check to see if you have a CD writeble Rom, open up the computer to see if the cd rom cord is in all the way. I would put a DVD rewriteable in the computer new ones come with the software. you may need a driver.
www.download.com
you may only have a CD rom, and you need a CD writer to burn songs. A DVD writer can burn CD's and DVD's

CD Burning
Hi you can obtain a cd cleaning disk insert and follow instructions as the most common fault is dirt on the lens. If you do not get a cleaning disk open the cd draw and with a soft brush clean the little lens and then test. If this doesn't work check that the cd has rotated by placing one in the draw close wait 2-3 seconds and open see if the cd has turned. If it hasn't replace drive
