    According to the User Manual, I just looked at on HP Support, the DVD-ROM drive, or DVD burner drive, is the bottom optical drive. The CD-ROM drive, or CD-R/W burner drive, is on top. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manua... [Left-click on - HP Pavilion Desktop PCs - (English) Users Guide PAV NA/CTO 5990-6253. This is a PDF file download. You won't see anything happening, after you click on the above link. Takes about 10 to 15 seconds, to see the first page. Go to Page 15]

The DVD-ROM drive is the same thing as the CD drive or optical drive, generally. It is near the top of the tower.

Download refers to getting something off the internet - if you have a DVD, you are trying to install it.

Dvd drive won't open

you can try opening it with paperclip if it's stuck. Straighten the clip and locate a small pinhole on the drive it and insert the clip in. You might need to push the paperclip in an out a few times to eject the drawer.

I get a please insert the correct DVD-ROM when I try to play the Ironman & Hulk pc game

first of all, is this game running from your harddrive or the dvd rom??? if u are running from the harddrive, then you will need a application to make the os think is running from a dvd rom drive, this is typical when the game is downloaded. if u have the original dvd disk, then your firmware of the dvd rom may need to be updated, or most likely theres an issue with the firmware, and you might need to purchase and up to date dvd rom.
