Hitting it a couple times with a sledgehammer would do the trick. I highly suggest you ask your question again with more information on what you are trying to accomplish.

Whenever i start my Windows Vista on Toshiba m200 laptop it takes much time on start screen which is Toshiba logo also my CD rom icon is invisible in my computer and in hardware setting?

Hi, It sounds like your laptop is trying to detect the CD-ROM drive (the delay at start-up). After a certain amount of time, it will give up and continue to load windows. As you don't have the CD icon in windows I guess it fails to find the drive. The most likely cause is a faulty CD Drive. Removing the CD drive and re-inserting it *might* get it working again but I would bet you won't be able to get it working. If it is not easy to remove the CD Drive you can probably disable it in the laptop BIOS (google your "laptop model" and "BIOS" to find instructions). If the drive is faulty the cheapest fix is to obtain an external USB drive as Toshiba will charge a lot of a replacement part. Cheers!
