Have you read this?

http://www.sysopt.com/userreviews/dvd/r ... A_12x.html

Apparently the drive uses a mediatek chipset, so if you can find a copy of the original firmware (you did back up the firmware before flashing, didn't you?) then you may be able to boot to DOS and use mtkflash to recover the drive. If you don't have the firmware, try some of the links given on the page I referenced above. I would also normally recommend this:

http://forum.firmware-flash.com/dl_firm ... load_id=70

But their links to the firmware are dead.

From what little I've seen, this drive does not come highly recommended.
