Using The Cd-Rom Drive - Samsung N860 User Manual

Using the CD-ROM Drive

Compact discs are designed so that you can easily insert one into the computer
when you need it, and then remove it.
1. Press the button on the CD-ROM drive, and the tray slides out. (Do not lean on
the tray; it does not support much weight.)
2. Insert a CD (compact disc), label side up (or remove a disc, if you have finished
using it).
3. Push the tray in gently to close the drive tray (Figure 15).
A light on the drive tray is on when the computer is reading from a CD. Do not
remove a disc when this light is on.
Install and start a CD-based program as you would run a program on a floppy disk.
See your operating system documentation for more information on running
programs.
The name of the CD-ROM drive is the letter following the letter assigned to your
last hard drive. For instance, if you have one hard drive with two hard drive
partitions, the hard drive is drives C: and D: and the CD-ROM drive is drive E.
28 Using the CD-ROM Drive
If the tray fails to slide out it may be stuck, in which case
straighten out a paper clip, insert it into the small hole in the
front of the CD-ROM and push it until the tray ejects.
