I've uninstalled my CD/DVD driver from my registry, and mistakenly tried to use another driver's firmware for mine; I took the advice from someone on a forum, lovely idea, I know.

Anyways, my driver is Hitachi-LG GSA-H31N, their site doesn't offer driver downloads... Why? I have no clue. Dell doesn't have it. All I can find are firmware updates. But not the actual driver download. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Thank you
Running Windows XP. Downgraded from Vista, a long time ago.

Yes I tried another model's firmware, trying to update mine, figuring it would work. I'm running Dell Inspiron 530
And yes, device driver not firmware, now.
