Ok I found some directions for some older firmware updates. They might be the same directions for the new firmware. Here is a copy and paste:

Classic CHD500 Firmware 1.003

__________________________________________________ ______________________

Changes:

This release hasthe following changes (compared to 1.002):

1) Fix for disk formatting problems under Windows 2000 and XP
2) Fix for handling MP3 ID3v2 tags

__________________________________________________ ______________________

Notes:

Users upgrading from revision 1.002 firmware will not have to backup and
reload their music collection.

Users upgrading from revision 0.012 will have to backup and copy their music
back onto the CHD500 after the upgrade as the disk will be reformatted
by the upgrade procedure.
