Using the DVD-ROM or Multifunction drive
Optical storage has become the preferred medium for
software, music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs)
provide a significant increase in data storage and support
features that are not available on any other video platform.
These features include wide-screen movies, multiple
language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera
angles, and interactive menus.
For these reasons, your computer may come with a DVD-
ROM drive or Multifunction drive.
If a DVD-ROM drive or Multifunction drive is not currently
installed in the modular bay, follow the instructions in
