If it's a really rubbish drive to start with upgrading the firmware probably won't help much, the fact dvd writer's are so cheap these days means it's easier (and cheaper) than ever to get a brand new top quality drive for next to nothing.

I would suggest splashing out on a new drive, I really like the following 2 drives both of which I have.

NEC/Optiarc 7201S (Sata drive) 7201A is PATA equivalent
Pioneer 216D (Sata drive) 116D is PATA equivalent

All are under Â£20.
