    What happens when you try to reflash it? Does it show up in the BIOS?

    It's a Dell dimension E520, With a HLDS GSA-H31N HH SATA 16X DVD+/-RW Drive.

    I can't reflash because there is quote "No Optical Drive". It's not even showing up in the bios, "Not present". ****e wouldn't mind if it were my computer, I know I'd sort it out eventually, but Time is against me. ****e.

    XP Pro. No point doing a system restore, because its a hardware flash.

    I'm not seeing anything on Google - anyone know if you can manually flash a CD drive?
