On my Envy 15 it would barely stick out and I could pull it the rest of the way out, On the Envy 17, it is not budging, lots of noise, no disc. Tried widening the slot a tad, still nothing.

What a POS! and here I thought I was one of the few with a trouble free HP laptop. Nope.

I have owned a LOT of laptops, none ever as bad as these HP Envy laptops. Now deciding on my next move-shopping, most likely payup for a MBP. Fortunately purchased from Amazon with a 30 day return policy.
HP=welfare of laptops?

Another unhappy HP customer.
The Envy 17 being the {content removed} it is, is slot loading, therefor, you have to dismantle the whole bottom f the notebook (36+ screws) to get to the opti drive.
Cool hay! You get to see the inside of your notebook AND clean the fans that are brand new.
