Viewing The Contents Of A Cd Or Dvd; Removing A Disc With The Computer On; Removing A Disc With The Computer Off - Toshiba Satellite 5205 Series User Manual

Viewing the contents of a CD or DVD

CDs and DVDs contain files just like diskettes and the hard
disk. CDs are often used to install software or store files that
require a lot of space, such as photographs and large
presentation files. You can use Explorer or My Computer to
view the contents of any CD or DVD.
