operation and can damage the drive.

Installing the Software

The Optical Disc Drive (ODD) requires software to view
DVD/MPEG2 movies or to write to a CD or DVD disc. While
Microsoft Windows XP includes CD-writing features and may be
sufficient for your needs, the CD-writing software provided with
the ODD contains advanced features beyond those offered by
Windows XP.
