The CD-ROM or DVD Drive

Your computer comes with an external CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive is a read-only drive. It cannot be
used to write data to a recordable CD. The CD-ROM drive can read data from CDs, including audio or video
CDs. The DVD drive can read both DVDs and CDs. Your notebook identifies the drive with the letter following
the hard drive letter. If your hard drive is D, then the CD-ROM drive will be E.
