Depending on the model, your PC will be fitted with a CD-
ROM, a CD-RW, a DVD-drive or a combination of those
drives. The schematics and features for each drive may vary.
NOTE: This section describes the CD-ROM
drive. Operation of a DVD or CD-RW drive is
basically the same.
With a CD-ROM drive, data can be read or audio CDs played.
Compact disks can store large quantities of data and offer
relatively rapid access to data.
