Using optical media drives

The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the DVD-ROM
drive. However, operation is the same for the CD-ROM,
CD-RW/DVD-ROM and DVD Multi drives. The full-size drive provides
high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM-based programs. You can
run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An
ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the
computer is accessing a CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows
and the Slim Select Bay indicator glows.
Use the WinDVD 4 application to view DVD-Video discs.
If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs
section for precautions on writing to CDs.
