Hey there Cheeks, let me get this right, your DVD is still spinning but nothing is reading from within there?
And yes, the fact that you said things work in the bios and not via Windows def seems like a driver corruption issue as if it were hw, well, obviously it wouldn't work at all.
Though the fact that it can't read anything at boot is a bit strange.
Is there a setting within it's bios to reset the USB adapters so that it picks them up automatically again?
The other thing to do would be to make some notes of your current bios settings and then to try a "restore to default" bios option.
I find it stranges how it took out the DVD drive during POST and if it is stilll spinning and not reading at this point. hmmmm.
One more thing, is it set to boot from DVD first and then move onto the hdd in the bios?
Sorry girl, not sure if that helps but it may be worth a go.
