Using optical media drives

The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optical media
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.
