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!
