How can I fix my cd rewrite drive?

Our cd rw drive won't open. The "my computer" section doesn't even recognize it. I did get it to open manually, there were no disks stuck in it, nor anything else for that matter. I am thinking of just replacing the drive. Can I upgrade it to a dvd rewrite drive? Is that hard to do by yourself?
Thanks for your help...
It is an Hp pavilion 752n computer
ACPI Uniprocessor PC
the drive in question is an hp cd-writer
