Optical Drive

When setting up my HP, it told me to create recovery files...I put one disc in and it started the process. after that disc, it said I needed 16 more discs to copy all data. From that point on it will not read any disc in the drive...

Re: Optical Drive

you must have selected the option to create recovery on cd`s thats why it is asking for 16 cd`s you could have easily done it with 3 dvds . if it is a new system try reinstalling it to the factory settings .
