Ok, i just did the dumbest thing i could possibly do updating the
firmware on
this dvd-rom.

So right now I have a dvd drive that
has no firmware and I can not boot with it installed on my machine. If i
try, the light stays on on the drive and the machine hangs 'detecting
IDE devices..'

I am not able to get into my bios set up or anything. I have no idea
how to
fix this. Any ideas?

google for MtkWinFlash program /carefully read instructions!/

you can flash your drive from Windoze even if the drive can not be
seen in device manager

worth a try ..
