I Used The Software To Get Rid Of The Virtual Partition And Now It Doesnt Work.

I downloaded the software from Toshibas website to get rid of the Virtual Partition and the Power Off Function. Once I ran it, I get a error saying ToshibaFirmwareUpdrade..(Yes Updrade) Firmware Failed in a small box and now I cant get my Hard Drive working. It shows that its installed, but doesnt show in "My Computer" I tried to get the latest drivers but Windows 7 seems to have most recent.
