Doing Common Tasks

Understanding Your Drives

The PC has a diskette (floppy) drive (select
models only), and one or more compact disc
(CD) drives. For the optional 6-In-1 memory
card reader, refer to "Using the 6-In-1 Memory
Card Reader" on page 58.
There are different types of optical disc drives
that may be included with the PC, depending
on your PC model:
CD-ROM drive, which can read audio and
■
data CD discs.
CD-RW drive, which can read and record
■
(burn) audio and data CD discs.
DVD-ROM drive, which can read CD and
■
DVD discs.
DVD+RW/+R drive, which can read and
■
write (burn) CD and DVD discs.
Combination drive, which combines the
■
functions of two drives into one: either a
DVD+RW/+R drive and a CD-RW drive,
or a DVD-ROM drive and a CD-RW drive.
Note:
There are two types of DVD discs: DVD+R/RW
and DVD-R/RW. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
do not work in the DVD+RW/+R drive.
On some PCs, the CD-RW drive is labeled
cd writer, the DVD+RW/+R drive is labeled
dvd writer, and the combo drive is labeled
dvd writer/cd writer combo drive.
