The specs for HP Pavilion dv 1000 indicate a DVD-RW/CD-RW not CD-ROM. Has someone changed the drive? A CD-ROM drive will not read a DVD, it has to be a CD/DVD-ROM.
I had the same problem with a refurbished laptop which was advertised as having a CD/DVD-RW but in fact had just a CD-ROM. Fortunately the vendor replaced the drive.
