Philips DVD+RW-D28 FW upgrade?

Current Firmware (includes improved 8x DVD media write support) 1.72 is available from Philips. I have upgraded from Dell site to 1.62. How do I upgrade to 1.72 as the Philips update tool see the DVD drive but the upgrade software does not?

    If you have a second drive, disable it in the BIOS, i.e., turn it off.

    Then your drive must be customized for Dell and cannot use a third-party driver.

    Are you having problems with the drive?
