Using optical media drives
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optical
DVD-ROM drive. However, operation is the same for all other optical media
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.
Use the WinDVD application to view DVD-Video discs.
If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on
CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive (+-R Double Layer), refer also to the
Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drive (+-R Double Layer) section for
precautions on writing to CDs/DVDs.
