MY TOSHIBA LAPTOP HAS QUIT READING CDS. IT WILL PLAY MUSIC CDS AND DVDS BUT WHEN A NEW BLANK CD IS INSERTED IT WONT READ IT . I GET THE FAMILIAR " NO CD IN DRIVE D " MESSAGE AND RECENTLY I TRIED THE AV JACK ON THE REAR OF THE LAPTOP TO PLAY A DVD ON THE TV AND GOT NOTHING ON THE TV BUT THE MOVIE PLAYED ON THE SCREEN.

at this point, you can revert back to the stone aged floppy drive to boot up. Try to obtain a boot-able floppy disc that will allow you to boot the pc with cd driver. You can even go back to WIN-ME edition floppy boot disc. I can send along a copy if you like.
