Toshiba cd drives don't usually work well with apple standard drivers - the lacie cd drives were a good example of this - I think you can still get a driver (d2) from the lacie site - install that, reboot, and the cd drive should pick up. The toast CD reader extension is another to try if the lacie one doesn't work...
