If you were doing a firmware update to the CD/DVD and used the wrong input file. You may have broken the drive.  I would call Dell and tell them your tale.

In the upper right corner of the SFDNWIN interface click the left button to open the folder containing SFDNWIN.exe.  

There you will find a file called U306.BIN.  Double click on that.  

You will see that now your SFDNWIN's field are updated with the necessary information.  

Go ahead and click download.  It will work this time and will prompt you to restart your computer after it is done downloading.

The firmware will install automatically upon restart.
