Shamus, the system profiler does not show the existence of the dvd drive.

He says he did so I am thinking the firmware update was corrupted maybe. Either that or the drive could be bad I guess.

@ William: Is it making any really weird noises. ???

Can't re-install cause it says it is already installed. I don't know alot about mac books but if it could be uninstalled then we could get somewhere. Because it's a firmware update I don't think that can happen.

If the wrong update was installed or it was not in the right order then the drive would be pretty much junk then...or could you update the motherboard bios maybe and get it back maybe...seeing as it's a macbook. (laptop) ???

Agreed, thought it might be a shot in the dark though.
