Using your notebook


When the computer is in Standby or Hibernate mode, you cannot insert or remove a disc.
Be sure to seat the disc firmly over the disc drive hub fingers. If you do not seat the disc firmly, you could damage your disc drive and you may not be able to open
the tray.
When you finish using a disc, wait until the LED indicator turns off and then press the eject button to remove the disc.
If the disc does not come out when you press the Eject button, go to My Computer. Select the drive, click the right button of your mouse and select Eject. If it still
does not work, turn off the computer and insert a thin, pointed object into the manual eject hole.
