Please give us a little more information.
You've distinguished between various types of CD's that you do and don't have the problem with.
Please be specific.
For instance:
(hypothetical example)
The drive recognizes and I can read any CD that I've burned to save documents and files.
And the drive recognizes the Installation CD for Windows Operating System or HP Printer Installation CD.
But the drive will not recognize (What kind of disk? Like a Music CD? or something else?)
Have you looked in Device Manager to see if there are any yellow or red warnings, especially for the entry:
CD ROM
Let us know how you are progressing with your problem-solving.
Best Regards

This seems quite "Odd", Because Drive C:\ is almost always your primary Hard Drive. Hmmmm.please put a disc in drive C
