Read the firmware update description carefully. It's for the 8432E (the
original Plextor) only. There are no firmware updates offered by Creative
for the 8433E, 8435E, 8438E or 8439E drives, even though the OEM's have
updates available.
It appears that Creative finds the customers who purchased the later (read
cheaper, less capable) models of the 8432 unworthy of any kind of support,
as they refuse to supply the needed firmware updates or even explain why
they will not.
Now you know how it feels to be discriminated against by a big powerful
entity with no scruples.
