If you were current in all the updates you would have already loaded .net Framework.
Go to Microsoft Update (in your Start menu). When it opens click on "Custom Updates" It will analyze your computer then tell you anything that is missing and needs to be installed. These are listed in 4 sections (Critical, Windows(?), Software and Hardware). I would do all of them but not necessarily all at the same time. You will have to go back in several times as when you do some updates others will become needed for fixing them.Microsoft's quirky system.
Your Plextor is a CD/DVD drive not a hard drive and does have firmware updates. Microstudio will show you what version of firmware you have currently (last item in name) in the drive selection area under Tools.
This is the link for your Plextor model http://www.plextor.com/english/suppo...s/firm_716.htm
