There should be no reason to update them or add anything new unless you're having problems. (When a new DVD/CD drive is installed on a computer, Windows should automatically install the driver which recognizes the drive and allows it to run.). And although updated firmware is occasionally needed for specific reasons, (which updates the internal software of hardware), treat it much the same way.. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Hope this helps.

HI all, do CDROM and DVDRom actually have drivers or are they never updatedd. All I have ever seen on my PC is drivere date 7/1/2001. I have googled and never been able to find a driver update. I have found "OEM firmware" and not knowing what that is, I have never downloaded it. Are these updates important and should I download?? Thanks a million for any info you can provide me with.
