You might be able to download it directly from their drivers page. Also, as suggested above, their forums are full of useful info.
Tech support is mostly handled through India now so I avoid them whenever possible. I tell all my clients to purchase as a business - you get slightly better tech support.

seriously though, those drives are LG rebadges I believe, they were not uncommon for Dell couple years ago. I believe now, they have went over to Samsung
