To stop the CD, click the Stop button.
Playing optical media
If you insert a CD/DVD/HD DVD (available on certain models)
into the optical drive and the Auto-Run feature does not
automatically start your disc, try launching the CD/DVD manually.
To do this, follow these steps:

Click the optical drive icon.
The disc drive will run the CD/DVD.
If your disc does not run using this method, try using an application
that is associated with the media on the disc. For example, if it is a
music CD, open Windows Media
then play the CD. For other types of media, use the associated
software to open the files on the disc.
