Go step by step in upgrading your firmware so you won't miss out anything.
Chances are MCE uses a 3rd party CDRW like Matsushita which I know is
recognized. I upgraded my Rev D to 1.2 which now recognizes a tray-loading
Panasonic (Matsushita) DVD-Rom.

I saw someone lugging a Powerbook the time I went to Ayer's Rock.
