its the same place it is on all Windows XP machines. Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragment

Airdogspace is right if you're using the Windows disk defragmenter with Windows XP, but that option may not be right there with some operating systems or if your computer has a third-party defragmenter installed. However, I believe all modern operating systems and third-party defragmenters allow you to take the alternative route of opening My Computer, right-clicking on the drive you want to defragement and selecting "Properties", then the "Tools" tab and clicking on the "Defragment now" button.

try updating the drivers for your disk drive.
2 :
This means that there is an error with your disk drive. You might want to get it checked out by a professional.
3 :
RESet the auto play setting in control panel to "ask me everytime"
4 :
Common problem with Toshiba laptops. They install a very shoddy CD/DVD drive with a Japanese sounding brand name. This brand name drive is notorious for failing. Just contact Toshiba support and they will replace the drive (probably with a Pioneer brand drive as they did with me). Your laptop will be away 2-3 days and then it will come back working perfectly
5 :
you probably have a problem with your disk drivers try reinstalling them with the recovery disk that you laptop came with
6 :
Well, I have one, and when I insert a disk it automatically plays it on media player or any other player. Or it would have a little window with all the choices like "Play on Media Play, Do nothing, download, and save in folder" Hope I helped PEACEĆ¢™¥

How do I totally erase and install new software on an old Toshiba laptop?

How do I totally erase and install new software on an old Toshiba laptop?
I recently received an old Toshiba laptop. I would like to erase everything and install new software. I'm fixing this up for my 10 yr. old nephew. How do I go about cleaning it up (hard-drive) and installing the software I have accumulated here at home.

No problem. Use this..it is an awesome program that deletes every trace od an app, as opposed to window add/remove programs which leaves 80% behind. Its free, I use it, and handed it out to all family members, so I dont have to fix their PCs in the future! http://www.revouninstaller.com/

The best way to start with a complete new operating system and erase every thing at the same time is to do a system recovery using the factory recovery CD set. The CD set can be ordered from http://www.toshiba.com customer service by model and serial number. Another way is to buy a boxed new operating system. And yet another is to delete all word/excel files, pictures etc., remove all added programs from add/remove programs ( this one is slow and will not repair any system files or problems. Hope this helps
