Locate the hard disk

Laptop hard drives are mainly located underneath. A screw holding down a plastic lid covers the drive. In some cases of older laptops the hard drive is slot mounted and you'll have to remove screws underneath and/or on the side to release the drive followed by pushing a switch which well push the drive out.

Laptop CD drawer repair

Hi there.

It sounds like your Class Filter Drivers are missing/corrupt.

I would download and update your BIOS (this should include the class filter drivers), update your DVD drive firmware, and also the WinDVD update for Windows Vista. You can get these from the Toshiba website, here:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1598559&rpn=PSAD0U&modelFilter=A135-S4467&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663

The 3 downloads I just mentioned, are the first 3 on the list.

Let me know how you get on.

KDS Laptop CD ''D'' drive won't recognize blank CD WIN ME

On the face of the CD drive drawer, does it say "CD" or "CD-RW" (or "CD-RW/DVD")? If "RW" or "ReWritable" isn't present, you can't write to blank CDs. You can only read prerecorded ones.

There may just be a number problem with this; this listing shows your model number but does not seem to be a motherboard:

This PN is all over the net but, as on this page, it seems to be a disk drive, not a motherboard:
