I got a Toshiba M70 Laptop only about 6 months old and the damn DVD rom dont work no more, just makes grunting noises when a DVD is put in it, just like the DVD has a scratch on it and it carnt read it, ive tryed several DVD's with the same results, what is weird though it will read a Music and Data CD?
Anyway........... before I take the laptop back for warranty I want to make sure its not a software problem that is causing it. and then they make me pay for the fix lol.. I downloaded new drivers from toshiba and reinstalled them all but with no change...
So the recovery CD is actually a DVD so it carnt read it to boot from it haha so I got a USB External DVD.... guess what no boot option for USB, so then I see LAN.... but LAN searches but dont find nuthing.... saiz somthing about DHCP from LAN??? Way over my head.... can anyone tell me how to boot from LAN, ive been reading some and it saiz I may need some software.... but what to get???
It also has an FDD boot option??? what the hell is that?? (Ok maybe Flash Drive Disk?)
any help greatly appreciated, feeling quite lost without my fully operational laptop lol
