    For your DVD-Drive, were those data DVDs burned or from a company? For your drivers: Nvidia doesn't give the greatest driver support (ATI is way, way better), but you might want to poke around driverheaven.

    Were all the burnt DVDs written on your notebook, or someone elses? In addition, will the burnt DVDs that don't work in your drive, work in other drives?

    :confused: You might have a faulty DVD drive - I'd get it checked and diagnosed by a Toshiba-Certified repair center.
