I tried my bootable cd to other computers and it's really working good. I wander why it can read other cd or dvd, and sometimes, it doesn't. If I put in my bootable xp cd, it would indicate as blank cd. This problem started when my son accidentally stepped on slightly near the side of the dvdrom. Please give me ideas on how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance guys!

Dear friend, In your system cdrom drivers currupted for that drivers you need to install a mscdx file in drive "c" then it works fine.
SOURCE: CD/DVD DRIVE DOES NOT READ PROPERLY
Really the ONLY thing one can do.. is replace the unit with another know good working one.. IE:New. Usually a GOOD CD/DVD will instantly & always work... it will be picked up by windows and then the appropriate "Drivers" installed. As an IDE CD/DVD is "Generic" it generally doesn't require a "Special" Driver, so windows uses it's "Own" driver. Therefore generally if it's showing as OK in Windows, but is NOT going... then, usually, as I said, it is kaput.. for some reason... usually the laser Diode or Quadrant detector...

ITs a dvd rom drive. It will not burn blank dvds
in order to burn, it has to cd-r/cd-rw/dvd-r/dvd-rw. If a drive cannot write to a blank disc, it will eject it. Rom drives read only (Read Only Memory), Combo drives- burn cd's only read dvd's, and super drives both read and write to cds and dvds.
SOURCE: CD RW/ DVD RW Drive Will not read and Burned discs or burn to blank discs
I suggest a firmware update from Toshiba. If this does not help then your laser in the drive is no longer capable of this task. Also just thought about it but make sure the media that you are burning to is the same as the drive + or - R's

Hi,
do you have software/program that supports DVD.
Try a different DVD/Movie/Disk or alternative.
Also install a program, such as Nero which will give you physical characteristics of the drive.
Finally go to device manager, and remove or uninstall the device, reboot the computer and setup again. This can sometimes remedy the problem.
ensure that the drive is set as Master/Slave. if on the same Bus/IDE channel as a hard-drive. set as master/slave opposite to what the hard-drive is setup as.
Hope this helps.

Right-click on Drive A. You will see the option to format the drive.
Click on Format. Depending on your operating system, you will see an option that reads either "Create a system disk" or "Create a MS Dos system disk." Click the box next to this option.
Click the "Start" button to begin formatting the disk.
Open the software that you use to burn or write files to the CD-rom or DVD drive.
Click on "Make a Data CD or DVD." Insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R disk into the drive.
Look for the option to "Make this disk bootable." You may have to scroll over the various icons displayed to find this option. Click on the option.
Burn the CD or DVD as usual. Once completed, this disk can be used to boot your computer.
When completed, you will have a bootable floppy disk.
For CD Rom or DVD disks
hope this helps
