Just type in tinyurl.com/toshibadvd

Sounds like the drive is not compatible with cdg's. New drives are pretty cheap. Many LiteOn drives work, I found 2 at MalWart for $40 each, work beautifully.

It's a shame to remove a drive from a new computer that is probably equipped with "LightScribe" and replace it with another one just to play CDGs. That's why I carry my ext. Plextor.

I just bought an external case converting my internal to an external running through a USB 2 port. Works fine. Nothing internally has to be changed at all!

Pretty cool way to get a cheap ext.drive for CDGs. Does that mean it is smaller than a typical ext.drive?

No not really. I have seen some pretty slimlined externals. You have to figure these are using an actual internal unit, surrounded by the case & the internal cables to connect it. But it's just as portable & works great!
