If you firstly browse toshiba.com for updates, there are several firmware updates on DVD players.
Worth a look.

update your bios

check to see what speed of discs you are using. you may need a factory firmware update for the drive its self. try the exact model on the web with the word firmware after it.
it can also be the brand of cd. try a different brand. see if a friend or co worker has a different brand so you arent buying unnessisay product.

update the firmware for the dvd rom from the toshiba website, that should fix it.

Impossible, since your device _reads_ CDs/DVDs, but does not _write_ either CD nor DVD.

Do you have a USB memory-stick (holding 4Gbytes) ?
If so, copy the files to the memory-stick,
and take the memory-stick to your friend's computer,
presuming that his/her computer has a DVD-writer.
That DVD can be _read_ on your computer.

make sure the device is enabled in windows and in the bios.
also disable any advance features (check with toshiba if you have any.. .and make sure your driver is updated before), lastly play around with the settings (make sure the driver is updated before doing this)

and remember to try one thing at a time, test, then move on to try something else.. be patient and methodic.

post back with your findings!!

you might have to update your dvd driver. Go to my computer and then properties,then disk manager. Look for the DVD driver and then update it...You might also update your windows..Hope this helps...
