Toshiba dvd/Sony lappy problems
My problem is much like the one in the mastermiaow thread. I have a Sony pcg-f520, windows 98se, 500mhz p3, 256 mb ram, neo magic 256av video card, sonic cineplayer1.5 and interactual player dvd s/w, and a problem child toshiba sd-c2202 dvd drive. Will play cd's not dvd's, doesn't even show that they're there. This is what I know about my system; in device mngr it shows the toshiba drive with no problems, the driver is a windows cd-rom driver 4-23-1999. This is what I've tried so far. Removing the drive and reinstalling, no luck. Updating driver from the drives properties drivers tab, then listing all hardware and selecting toshiba, I picked dvd-rom from models list, since mine wasn't there, no luck, went back to original setup. Updated windows and tried reinstalling drive, no luck. Next I went to drastic measures and reformatted and and reloaded windows, no luck! I should mention that I got this lappy off ebay and don't know the history, I did email the seller, he said the dvd worked fine, I question that since there wasn't any dvd software loaded on the machine. Also, I do have the original sony restoration cd's. Thanks for any help with this!
