XPS B800R DVD ROM Drive
I have a XPS B800R and would like to upgrade the drivers for the DVD ROM drive.The drive is a Samsung SD612 but on the Samsung website it lists 5 drivers but all have a suffix E/B/F/SE which mine clearly does not.My question is how do I find out which is the right driver? I have called technical support but were unable to provide any help.Can anyone advise?

Hi Zooper,
The drivers are generic to your Operating System, so unless you find updates from Microsoft`s Windows Update site, you should not need any.
Now if you are talking about "firmware", then you should check Dell`s File Library for them.
I have the link for the Samsung 612 listed on the CD/RW site, click on the CD/RW gif in my post and scroll to Section 5-1, you will find it there.
A note: the majority of our Regulars tend to believe in the old saying, "If it isn`t broken, don`t fix it" theory in regards to flashing the drive. Try the firmware if the drive is giving you problems or the firmware corects an issue or adds support in a particular feature.
Best Regards
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the
difference.
