Hi everybody.
If y'all will remember my Toshiba A100 "System Restore not working" post, thanks to all involved, my laptop is once again shiny! But there is still one remaining problemo. When I try to use my inbuilt CD/DVD drive, the disk, whether it be music, movies or anything else, just whirls around and does nothing. If I try to force start it from 'my computer/ cd/dvd drive/d' it comes up with an I/O error. Trouble is I know it works, because if you remember I had to do a full HDD recovery, and I could only use the 'D' drive, as the recovery utility would not recognise my external usb 'F' drive. Any help folks?

Jump to PostSounds like a driver issue since this occured right after a restore. look for updated drivers, and go by the serial number of the drive.

Thanks Dogbreath?
I resolved the problem by doing a full HD recovery, using the supplied recovery disk with my latop. There were issues there as well, but at last everything is sorted out.
