There are a plethora of DVD Firmware updates for older Toshibas (6
months in age plus). Many of them address the "won't boot" from DVD (or
R/RW) drive.

There are also a buncha firmware updates for the Laptops that also
address BIOS problems with related to booting from CDs and DVDs.

So, I guess, I have to ask...

        Have you updated your BIOS and Firmware?
