Do I need the crucial m4 firmware or not ?

do I need it ?

I believe the crucial m4 bug affected only the 60GB versions. Do you have a 60GB version?

If not, don't bother.

If you mean the latest 0309 update then yes; if you read the release notes it addresses a lock-up issue after 5180 hours or use.

ISO is basically an image of a CD. Burn it to a CD.

Heres a handy guide from Crucial:

BTW i was wrong - the crucial firmware update should be done regardless.
