Hi, I have a 17" 2012 MBP i7 running Mavericks with 2 hard drives (one on the 5.25 bay with an adapter).
I need to boot from a DVD to upgrade my Samsung SSD firmware, but the computer doesn't want to work with Apple's USB external DVD drive, it recognize it but shows a message that this device isn't compatible with my computer.

Anyway, if I'll get a generic USB external DVD drive from Bestbuy, will I be able to boot from it?

Also if you have any other suggestion on how to upgrade the SSD firmware on this device it would be AWESOME!

Many thanks!
