The implications of trying to custom build an SSD firmware update image from a CD could be big, and it's really not something to experiment with unless you feel lucky. >From a user support standpoint, the first thing to do is send a "Why aren't you supporting your users with a memory stick firmware update? Many people no longer have CD drives." Practically speaking, that is not likely to result in a quick result, or possibly any result. So use a program they recommend, or use an external CD drive to update the firmware.
