Find a bootable CD and try booting the laptop from that CD. 1. Insert the bootable CD into the drive. Windows installation CD is a bootable CD. Toshiba recovery disc is a bootable DVD. You can use either one for this test. 2. Restart the laptop and press F12 as soon as Toshiba logo appears on the screen. 3. Select CD/DVD optical drive and press enter. If the laptop boots from a CD but the optical drive will not work in Windows, most likely you have a problem with software. 1. Delete CD/DVD drive entry in the device manager. Restart the laptop and let it redetect the drive. 2. Try reinstalling Windows from scratch. Drew S,
