Using The Cd Or Dvd Drive - HP Compaq Presario,Presario 6001 Getting Started

Using the CD or DVD Drive

Your computer may have one or two
optical drives — CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM,
and/or DVD+RW/+R drives — depending on
the model you purchased. Some computers have
a combination drive (known as a combo drive),
which combines the functions of two drives into
one. These drives feature either a DVD+RW/+R
drive and a CD-RW drive, or a DVD-ROM and
a CD-RW drive. Optical drives allow you to
perform several different activities, such as storing
information, listening to music, or viewing and
creating movies.
Getting Started
DVD-ROM and DVD+RW/+R drives take longer to
begin playback than CD drives because they must
determine the type of media being played. If any
of the drives fails to play a disc, check to make sure
that the disc is inserted with the label facing up and
properly seated in the drive.
