I flashed Etna's firmware (SBW242) on my QSI SBW242U, on my Alienware Area 51m 766 laptop. I created a bootdisk with freeboot on a usb pen drive. I booted from the usb drive and in the A:/ prompt typed autoqsi2 and went throught the firmware flashing steps. Flashing the firmware went ok, but now the drive is not recognized by the system bios neither windows, nor can i open the cd tray. Briefly, the drive is D.E.A.D. Does anyone know what can i do to make it work again? Thank you!

I tried flashing Dell SBW242U firmware, but it doesn't recognize the drive neither the Bios. I don't have the firmware for my exact drive. But if I did, how can i flash it if it doesn't even recognize that the drive exists?

You didn't happen to make a backup of your drive's original firmware, did you?

Autoqsi dosn't contain any firmware. It reads the firmware from the drive patch it and write it back. Please check your pendrive for the unmodified backup of your drive.
Other Question: Was the SBW242U not an USB drive? MTKFLASH from AUTOQSI2 schould do nothing with USB-Drives. (It can not access this drives)
