USB port

Can anyone help me?
I inadvertantly configured one of my front
USB ports into a CD Rom drive, on my Dell 5150
Dimension, needless to say, it is now useless.
Don't ask me how I did it, but  I managed somehow.
Can it be reconfigured as a USB port again?
Any suggestions would greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

    Not likely anyone else has had this happen,
    and just as likely I will not get it fixed, but it may
    provide a challenge to sombody.:smileysad:
     
    I suggest you explain yourself more clearly as to how you convert a usb port that is about 1/2" in size into a physical CD ROM device...  Or leave the bar now, you've been there too long...  :smileyvery-happy:
