not a driver problem but a firmware problem in the flash of teh hardware itself

- Device Manager

Yeah, like he said, it won't boot if the drive is attached. The firmware is hanging and not communicating with Windows. It's not technically a Windows driver.
Google it. Somewhere I read of some guy horking his brand new NEC dual layer burner and he was able to get it back, but the steps he had to go through....dunno.
Was it the wrong version? Perhaps downloading the right version or the old version will let you flash back to it....on the bright side, you've got absolutely NOTHING to lose by giving it a try, right?

well if you were an electronics master you could pop the chip with the firmware on it, reflash it then solder it back on--I think the probability of being able to do this is next to impossible but then again i've seen guys make their own boards in a toaster oven before so you could be one of those guys....
Hoagie_one:
im not one of those guys

I think he's referring to the mysterious "they"....or "the man" ;D
