Optical drive

Your computer may come with a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD/CD-RW combo,
DVD-Dual or DVD-Super multi drive. This drive is located on the front panel of
your computer. The CD drive allows you to play different types of compact disks
(CDs). The DVD drive allows you to play not only old CD-ROMs, CD-I disks, and
video CDs, but digital video disks (DVDs) as well. DVD-ROM is a type of disk
media with enough storage space for a full-length movie. The CD-RW, DVD-
Dual and DVD-super multi drive allow you to record or burn recordable and
rewritable disks.
CDs and DVDs, like diskettes, are also compact, lightweight and easy to carry
around. However, they are more delicate than diskettes and must be handled
with extra care.
To insert a CD or DVD into your computer's CD or DVD drive:
1. Gently push the Eject button located on the front panel.
2. When the disk tray slides open, place the CD or DVD gently on the tray.
Make sure that the label or title side of the disk is facing upward.
When holding a disk, hold it by the edges to avoid leaving smudges
or fingerprints.
3. Push the tray and it will close automatically.

Taking care of your CDs and DVDs

damage. Any kind of dirt or damage can affect the data on the disk, impair
