Hello

I just bought an HP desktop unit but there doesn't seem to be a button to open the CD/DVD drive (????), does anyone know how to do it from the computer or the keyboard (I can't find the drive in the PC programs either)?? I'm on Windows 10

Thank you in advance and best regards

    Hello,
    Normally there is a small hole (very discreet) on the drawer to open it in case of problems by pushing it with a paperclip.

    Otherwise, you need to go to the file explorer, right-click on the DVD drive and then click on "Eject".


    Otherwise, what is the exact reference of this HP desktop unit?

    Ps :
    If "DVD RW Drive (D:)" is missing in the file explorer, it usually means that the computer does not have a DVD drive/burner (unless mistaken).

    Hello again
    it’s an HP Slimline 290-a0005nf PC with AMD A4, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB SATA. On the front, there is a "cutout" that seems to correspond to a CD/DVD drive bay, but the file explorer cannot find a CD/DVD drive: does this mean that this model is lacking one??

    Best regards

      Hi,

      Excerpt: 

      Burner / reader => No


      It's normal then that it doesn't detect anything ;-(

        Thank you for the information, that's what I thought....but I just remembered that I have an external reader/writer that I had never used.., so it will be an opportunity

        Best regards
