@ lok sunder,

my laptop is TOSHIBA SATELLITE L20 model in now dvd drive is not working; when i put cd inside it wont read the cd, when it spining sounds like a motor running how rectify this problem, help me to rectify the problem

Try to boot the laptop from a bootable CD or DVD (Windows OS installation disc, Toshiba recovery disc, live Linux CD, etc…)
Can you boot from a CD?
I’m just trying to figure out if your problem is OS related or there is something wrong with the drive itself.
If the laptop will boot from a CD but DVD drive doesn’t work properly in Windows, most likely it’s Windows related issue.

The Microsoft fix-it worked! Not sure if removing my cd Creator from computer caused it or if an update. Whatever. Its working better than ever.
