cd drive not working

[alanbloom]

Hi,

I have a Toshiba laptop with windows vista buiness edition and my CD Rom drive does now not run any cd's or dvd's, infact not even data cd's.

It worked for a while and now does not work.

I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but no joy.

Can anyone help?

have you been to toshiba's web site for update driver search on laptops with ure model and seen if there is a driver??

Is it recognized in the Bios?

What is mentioned in the Device Manager? Does Explorer list your CD drive? Does the drive "Spin up" when inserted?

Maybe the drive has just died and you need a replacement.
