    I had to reinstall my Toshiba Manufacturer Software from master discs.  Everything is working great except for my DVD/RW drive (D drive).  It tells me that my MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ 850S ATA Device is not connected.  I've tried updating and scanning for hardware changes and it says everything is ok.  I believe it's not connected.  Does anyone know how to connect this DVD/CD drive to my Windows Vista.  My computer is a Toshiba/Satellite laptop.  If I need a new driver, where the heck do I find it!!!

    First, you can find the drivers for your Toshiba laptop at here. Usually, most Manufacturer posts the Firmware upgrade, not the drivers unless Windows does not support the CD/DVD Rom without by default.

    Second, is the DVD/CD Drive showing at your "My Computer" Window?

    Check your Device Manager and make sure you have your DVD/CD driver properly working without any ? or ! mark on it.

    yOU MAY ALSO TRY THIS LINK: "http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/default.aspx ". Look under the windows listing in the left side pane,  there are cd/dvd troubleshooters there.
