Did it come with any kind of installation CD? If so, there might be a utility on there to re-flash the firmware.

Hmm, I would quit anything that auto runs from the CD and use Windows Explorer to see what else is on the disc - if there’s a utilities folder, there might be something useful in it. or there might be a troubleshooting guide or something.

Also, could you post some more details about the model number etc of your device, as this might help in finding a solution.
