    cd/dvd firmware update ?

    I don't know much about firmware updates as I never had to do it but my DRW-2014L1Tburners are giving me some coasters in vista x64. Not 1 coaster under Nero 6 in xp pro.



    I got the driver update listing in the sticky, went to the asus site to check on a firmware update for my burner's for x64 vista and there are 3 hopefully that will eliminate the coasters.

    My question is: If I get the updates for the 64-bit vista will that interfere with those drives when I use xp pro ?

    thanks,
    kevin

    PS: I use swappable drives; switching between vista x64 and xp pro.
    only keeping xp for gaming and Nero 6

    no the firmware should be backwards compatible
