| 808443 | 2009-09-09 18:38:00 | The CD reader on my Toshiba lappy is playing up. The fault is intermittent and consists of; Not seeing disks at times. Working ok for periods (sometimes long enough for an os install) My question is:Is it likely to be a major or could there be a quick fix that I can try. I can manage no problem without the drive but it is a bit more convenient to have it. |

| 808445 | 2009-09-09 22:03:00 | Thanks 4 that.I should explain further that this occured while XP was installed and I was trying to install Ubuntu.It would go for about 80% of the install then stall. I managed to trick it by installing Crunchbang linux which is a much smaller install and all is 100% so I have a very nifty new linux to play with and everything works with the CD-DVD.I guess it was the xp firmware that was the problem. Windows is now gone from another of my machines. |

| 808446 | 2009-09-09 22:12:00 | Did you try to install Ubuntu using WUBI and it stopped on 80%, or were you doing a proper install? If it froze on a proper install then it can't be XP's firmware problem. |

| 808447 | 2009-09-09 23:23:00 | I was doing a proper install but also in XP I could not write to the cd. Now with XP "GONE" and just CrunchBang on everything is working 100%. |
