Hi,

Toshiba's website below says that there are no special drivers for their CD-ROM drives for Win95:

I would boot into Safe Mode...go into Device Manager...remove all references to your CD-ROM driver. Reboot...let WinDoze refind it...it should load the drivers automatically.

If you're still having problems, let us know.

Good Luck!

see if your BIOS supports booting from CDROM.
