I'm having trouble getting XP Home Edition to recognize my Toshiba DVD-ROM and IOMega/Plextor CD-RW. When I run it in safe mode, both show up. But when I run it normally, they don't appear at all. Any attempt to try to add them as new hardware is met with failure.
I've searched various forums and all I see is that a few people have the same problem but no one has a good solution. Some say that getting the manufacturor's drivers will help... except that Toshiba doesn't have drivers. They say the OS drivers will make the drive run fine.
I also check Microsoft's HCL list and noted that Toshiba CD/DVD drives only have a compatibility sticker for Win9x systems. Doesn't necessarily mean anything though.
Suggestions? Throw a cinder block at Bill? Go back to 98SE?
