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 lots 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.

CAUTION: Never press the eject button or turn off the computer
while the drive-in-use light is glowing. Doing so could damage
the disk or the drive.
