What model Toshiba? I had a laptop that had that exact problem - turned
out the CD-ROM was bad. One way to check is to set the BIOS to boot off
the CD-ROM first and put a bootable CD-ROM in. If it fails to boot off
the CD-ROM, then the HW is not reading the media. Solution: replace
either the CD-ROM or the computer.
