Want this question answered?
The Toshiba Satellite Pro I'm using to write this answer - has a built-in DVD multi-drive (CD/DVD rewriter)
get a external CD drive best buy
It does not have a CD/DVD drive so there is no need for an eject button.
Yes, it looks like you can. You need a CD burning drive to do this, which it looks like is included as standard equipment with this laptop.
It does not have a cd/dvd drive
For the Toshiba Protege R705 you press the FN (function) key and hit the TAB key. You then get the optical drive mini menu. Keep hitting the TAB key until you get what you want: ON, Eject, OFF.
you are doomed!
drive "double" ? thinking drive door or CD door right click e drive and select eject to open
well it should be the F10 or F12 button. There should be a hidden partition on the laptop that has the recovery CD on it. it will just load it from there. If you try both of those then most likely the recover partition is not there. Another thing you can do is either go to toshiba and order a recovery CD. Now keep in mind that some Toshiba don't have recovery partitions and you have to create your own recovery CD. The satellite series are notorious for this. I have seen this 1 to many times.
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!
You press their eject button.
With the recovery disks, just insert disk 1 into your drive, boot laptop to CD and your on the way to recovery.
