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

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.
