To insert or remove a CD or DVD

Do not insert or remove a CD while the computer is reading it. Otherwise, the
computer could stop responding and you could lose data.
1. Press the button on the face of the CD-ROM or DVD drive. If you are using this
drive for the first time, be sure to remove any packing material that may be present.
2. Place the CD into the drive (label facing up) and gently press down to seat it on the
spindle, making sure that the CD snaps onto the spindle.
OR
Remove the CD.
3. Slide the tray back into the module to close it.
If your computer loses power, you can manually open the drive by inserting a
straightened paper clip into the recessed hole on the front of the drive.

To play DVDs

If your computer came with a DVD drive, the software needed to play DVD movies has
been preinstalled on your computer. Click Start, Programs (Windows 98 or 2000) or
Start, All Programs, Multimedia, DVD Player (Windows XP). (The name of the DVD
player program can vary.)
If you need to install the DVD player software, click Start, Run, type
C:\HP\PROGRAMS\DVD\SETUP.EXE, and press Enter.
For Windows XP, if the DVD software is installed, you can also use Windows Media
Player to play DVD movies.
DVDs can have regional codes embedded in the disc data. These codes prevent DVD
movies from being played outside the region of the world in which they are sold.
Most DVD drives let you change the region code only a limited number of times
(usually no more than four). Please note that when you reach this limit, your last change
to the region code will be hard-coded on the DVD drive, and will be permanent. Your
HP warranty does not cover the expense of correcting this situation.
Refer to the help for your DVD player software for details about setting region codes.
