HP is not recognizing optical drives

[Soldier101]

I have an hp a1129n computer and it's not recognizing any of the optical drives in it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstlalling the drivers, disconnecting and reconnecting physically, everything is firmly seated, and pretty much anything else i can think of. It just all of a sudden stopped HELP!
