Operating the Drive
Loading a Disc
Use the following steps to load a compact disc in the drive:
1. Turn on the computer. The busy indicator on the CD-ROM drive
illuminates.
2. Holding the disc by the edges, not by the flat surfaces of the disc, slide it
label side up into the drive. When inserted deeply into the drive, the
loading mechanism grasps the disc and pulls it fully into the drive.
