Its funny, I can read a burned copy but not an orignal, anytime I place a
commercial cd or dvd I get a cd or dvd not recognized with a disk i/o
error. Well if I boot into dos or boot to a bootable cd or dvd it works
fine. Just in windows xp sp2. I did a full restore on my toshiba
a105-s4334 and still get the same error right off the bat. I also
noticed when it boots up it states that I cannot burn dvd's if I have the
recording option checked in the properties of the cd/dvd drive. I have
it checked on all my other systems and it works fine. When I uncheck the
box it will read my burned cd but when I check it it wont read any thing
and get the error. Mind you I have restored using the hard drive factory
restore settings. Is there a virus that hoses up the firmware or some
other area to hose the dvd/cd drive to not read commercial disks? The
reason I reformatted was due to a virus on my laptop. Please help as I
googled this same thing and found lots of people with the same error but
NO fix as of yet. I tried the regedit fix to no avail.

Thank you

CD-ROM not recognized
10-Sep-08

My CD-ROM is not being recognized in My Computer, and CDs won't load.
Device Manager says the drive is functioning normally, the drivers are
the
latest and not corrupted.
(I've already looked at the previous threads on this subject, tried many
of
the solutions even using the Guided Help software, but still no luck).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I've been lurking here for a few hours. I too lost my 2 CD/DVD drives in
device manager and lost them in every one of my programs.

Your adviese here let me run
FixIt for XP and they came right back. I thank you for the help and
suggestions.

Best regards,
