Cannot find drive for 7w036-a01 - Dell (7W036) DVD+RW Burner

You can do this yourself
Insert the disk into a working computer's CD drive and copy the folders onto an USB flash drive, then insert the USB flash drive into your Toshiba and copy the folders off the USB flash drive onto your Toshiba.

try a remove and reinstall of the drive.
press the bottom right side to get tab out.
remove the drive while the laptop is on.
then replace it and let the laptop find the drive.
it should then work.

I hope this was helpful.

Since it is only a DVD ROM drive, it can't burn CD's, only read them.

It is most likely jammed. If you look on the front of the drive, there should be a little hole. Use a paper clip that you have straightened out and insert it into the hole. When you feel resistance, push it hard carefully. The hole is an emergency/manual tray release. It should pop the tray out. If you can't get the tray to release and you have a CD or DVD in the drive, you will have to take the drive out of the system and take it apart to get the platter out. Of course this means you will have to buy a new drive as the old one will probably be unusable, even if you try to put it back together.

Try another disc first ,if no luck than try another disc manufacturer. If it does not help check if you can play anything from this drive if no, check drive connection in your laptop you can also can check BIOS settings for this DVDRW drive and settings for IDE or Sata data transfer mode make shure it works in Ultra DMA not PIO mode. Be carefull with BIOS Setup!!! If nothing helps replace drive. Good Luck!

Check your BIOS settings first.

It's DVD Rom - can only read DVDs.

reinstall the drivers for the cd drive, in the start menue click on computer when it opens up right click on the cd drive and click on properties click on up date driver
