XPS 400 Drivers

I recently purchased an XPS 400 desktop and included the optional 16X CD burner. I eventually found that it is an Hitachi LG device, but Dell doesn't list the mfg. part number. The assigned driver appears to be a generic Microsoft thing from 2001. I doubt that is optimal. Any suggestions on an appropriate driver update?

Back in the ancient days of DOS, CD drivers required special drivers. Current computers rely on Windows to supply the drivers for CD drives. I seriously doubt that you will ever find a driver for that drive other than the one included in Windows.

Thanks, Steve. It's just hard to accept that a 4-5 year old generic driver will result in optimal performance from a current drive device. Guess I'll have to assume the firmware in the device will make all OK, but I don't really believe that. I also don't believe Dell is making a best effort in this area.
