I did not read it, just saw it and thought it might be helpful. Evidently not.
All in all, I'm not too impressed with Toshiba's level of support on their download site. That's the first time I didn't see a chipset driver on a download page. You might be helped by calling their tech support to see if they can point you to the drivers you need. Maybe they keep them hidden so novices don't get themselves into trouble. These laptop companies are doing some strange stuff with customized drivers these days that are giving us all a hard time.
All is great now, you are a genius my friend!!! That stupid lil pesky thing wont be bugging me anymore
I appreciate all of the help from you and pebbly!
will this also work for other components on a laptop. i just recently installed windows 7 ultimate on a friends computer and more than just his harddrive are displayed as ejectable devices. his cd/dvd/blu-ray drive is shown, along with his harddrive and two other items that im not sure what they were, one of them started with iEEE or something or another, i need to get more details on this and report back, but just wanted to know if this was possible for other things than just the harddrive

Yes, it should work. But I think you are going to have to find the registry keys for each device, not just the SAta controller as before.
I've never seen those devices listed as removable (IEEE1394 (firewire) and SD host controller). It leads me to believe that the proper Chipset driver has not been installed yet. There is one on the "Software & Drivers" page for that laptop. I would see about installing that first.
You may also want to install the "Driver-Storage" one too.
