how can i parse this file so that i can get in following format

pcname kingston 001xxxx 7&869 xxxxxx 09/07/2
pcname maxtor 040xxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx
pcname kingston 033333 55555 xxxxx xxxxxx
inserted device name column to insert kingston entries
and the second paragraph act as second raw.....
the output desirable is in csv format for database with some batch or awk script........
any suggestion in this regard is greatly appreciated
thanks in advance/.........
