Seems that my cd rom driver is corrupted.

I need a driver for a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2212 on a Hp Pavilion xt375
laptop.

There are no valid drivers on my C: drive and since the cd rom does not work
I cannot install from a CD.

Let's back up a minute. Tell us what "cd rom does not work" means.
Drivers to see a DVD-ROM drive are included with Windows. You do not
need to install anything. What makes you think the "cd rom driver is
corrupted"?

Drivers are part of XP.

In Device Manager, right click, uninstall the optical drive, reboot. XP
should reinstall the drivers.

Remove your toshiba in device manager and also try to remove harddisk
controller(s). Widows should reload all necassary drivers after reboot
and that might help. Once I have had other problems with my DVD drive in
other pavillion notebook and it helped.
