The Optical Drive
Your computer comes with a pre-installed Optical drive. The optical
drive can read or write both DVDs and CDs. Your notebook identifies
the drive with the letter following the hard drive letter. If your hard drive
is D, then the optical drive will be E.
Inserting a Disk
1. Press the button on the front of
the drive to open the disk tray
and pull the tray open.
2. Place the disk on the tray, label
side up.
3. Place the disk on the central
spindle and press gently until the
disk clicks into place.
4. Slide back the tray until it clicks
shut.
Removing a Disk
5. Make sure the computer is not
accessing the optical drive.
6. Press the eject button and pull
the tray all the way out.
7. Pick up the CD by the edges and
remove the disk from the tray.
Push the tray into the computer
until it closes fully.
Warning: When the computer is reading from a DVD-ROM/COMBO,
the indicator light for the DVD-ROM will flash on. Do not attempt to
remove a disk while this light is active.
