Dvd-rom trouble I'm using a Toshiba Dvd-rom sd m1212, and this is really weird, I can get it to read cd-roms, and normal dvd movies, problem is it will not read PC Dvd-Rom cd's. I have check my connectors on the actual drive, and everything is in place, I think I have the latest driver for it, heck Im using Windows XP with SP2, Please someone help.

Hi, first of all, I'd check if you have the problem with CD/DVDs burned (written on a CD/DVD writer) or you have it also with original CD/DVDs, which would be weird. Depending on your finding to the above point I'd do one thing or another, but to me does not look like a driver problem. I'd check with Toshiba support if there's a new firmware for your drive, this does improve the media the device can read and correct problems like the one you mention. To know the fimware version you're using, open device manager and go find your drive, right click on it and choose details tab. Normally the firmware revision is the number at the end of the instance. Good luck mate !
