CD DRIVE HELP!!

Ok so I was trying to burn a CD and then when I put the CD in it said no CD in drive , so I tried all the CDs I had and they didnt work.
So then I put a not blank disk in there and then it read it. I do not know if something went wrong with my drive or lense or something I dont know.


Also my drive is in my laptop. I dont know if that makes a difference.
Thanks for any help in advanced.....

 

Have you tried to update your firmware of the drive??

 

Can you show me how to or a guide or site of some sort ....That would be greatly appriciated

 

There is two site that can help you.

Here they are

1.The Firmware Page
http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php

and

2.Dangerous Brothers
http://tdb.rpc1.org/

Here you can find your updates to your drive. You just have to find your model and get the update.

 

I could not find an update ....Also I do not know which drive is in my laptop , I tired to look on the Toshiba website and it didnt give me a drive model just the type of drive. So I need help on finding which drive I have and the update I need

 

Sorry to double post but , I was wondering if this dvd/cd combo drive would work in my laptop..... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827131044
....My laptop is a Toshiba L35-S1054 , Also this burn and read both CDs and DVDs right?

 

Does anyone know if my laptop (toshiba statellite l35) is HD , like if i plugged xbox 360 into it would it be shown in HD

 

To know you need to see what is on your device manager listing.

 

like when i plug my future xbox 360( this weekend woooooo) it would pop up under device manager? or what?
