This drive came in my toshiba laptop, and for a while it worked and i could read and write to cd's and dvd's but now it will not write to disks, or read some dvd r's. can someone help me fix this problem, or tell me what is wrong? thanks in advance
 
I purchased a Toshiba laptop a few months ago to serve as an audio jukebox. From the notes I made while investigating the services/apps/processes running on the unit, a process called RAMASST.EXE is used to kill Microsoft's CD writing software. From what I could ascertain, Toshiba wrote the app and wrote their own CD writing software. I poked around the web mostly out of curiosity and found it was used on a number of their notebooks, but did I not investigate further - I use the unit only as a jukebox and for no other purposes. RAMASST.EXE is in the startup folder. Perhaps you, or another app moved or deleted it.

This is just a wild guess on my part, but it might be a starting point for you to investigate. Also, take a look at the event logs (under administrative tools). (You don't perchance have one of the new models with the HDDVD - or whatever it's called - drive do you?)

Good luck!
 
thanks for the reply, but windows doesnt even recognize the drive as a dvdrw drive anymore. it just sees it as a cd/dvd drive. im not sure what could cause it to stop recognizing it as an rw drive, because it was working fine last week. any more tips? thanks again too
