That's the tip-off. You need a registry fix.

   Your CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

How do I do a registry fix?

Hi, I found this, tried it and it worked. Only difference is I also had to uninstall device driver and restart after running it.

http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/CDgone-file8.html    ---- download the file, save it. run it. restart.; that should do it.

CDGone is supposed to do exactly the same thing as the one I gave you (KB314060).

It probably comes from Microsoft MVP Jim Eshelman's site.

Happy to learn you got the drive back in any case.

My DVD/CD-Rom is also missing.  It did work for over a year then it would be available sometimes and I would restart the laptop and it would be there.  Now it is completely gone.  Does not show up in the Device manager.  I tried the regedit but could not fine the Upper or lower filters where they were suppose to be.  Therfore I don't show any error codes.  The system cannot find it.  If I put a disk in and close it it appears to run up but nothing reads.

I don't have copies of the driver (Can't find it on the Toshiba web site) and am not sure where to look on the laptop and don't want to delete anything I not sure of and don't have a copy.  I cannot restore from the restore disks since it cannot read the CD's.

Help!!

What sort of help did you want, Nana?

Does not show up in the Device manager.

That ordinarily means the drive is dead.
