DVD/CD-ROM DRIVE in my PC can't work.

SOURCE: CD / DVD player not listed as device on Windows Explorer

Try physically removing the player and fire up the laptop. Power down the laptop, replace the player and power back up. If that doesn't help, see if BIOS recognizes it.
If that doesn't work, get back to me.

I experienced this problem with my brand new Toshiba Satellite P205D. I spoke with their tech support, who directed me here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461

It resolved the problem. It involves deleting two values from the registry. Be sure to back up your registry before you do anything to it.

I want to add that I was impressed with the phone call. I was on hold for less than a minute and the solution came fast. And it wasn't even a Toshiba problem--it was Windows.

This has been a common windows issue. I'm sure that this will solve your problem. You can go to this link, http://tinyurl.com/toshibadvd, download the registry file and run it. After that, just restart your computer and it should be good to go.

If you're not sure and is worried about security since this is messing with the registry, you can just click on this microsoft link where it explains and gives you detailed instructions on how to manually edit the registry and fix the problem. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461.

This is typically the same thing, the first one is just a shortcut on how to do it. Just a reminder, EDIT THE REGISTRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
