visit our web site at www.plextor.com to check if you have the latest
firmware.
To obtain new firmware for your drive:

2. Look for firmware upgrades in the Support area, on the Downloads
page. There is a description of the latest firmware revision and its
intended use.
3. Download the firmware to your computer.
To upgrade firmware in your drive's flash memory:
1. Run the executable file that you downloaded from Plextor's web site.
2. Accept all defaults by continuing to click on the "Next" button until
you see the message:
