CD Gone and Fixes Don't Work

[Shawn]

I'm having the same problem. I've looked everywhere for
a solution, I tried to see if I could reload the drivers
for my cd/dvd rom from toshiba, but their website says
that the atapi device drivers are native to the xp
operating system, so they have no downloads... I tried
all the fixes like uninstalling and reinstalling, driver
rollback, system restore, but nothing has worked. any
idea how to get the cd working again??
