Before You Install

Congratulations on purchasing an HP IDE CD-RW drive. Your
computer will be able to read the information stored on a wide
range of compact discs and write to both CD-R (Compact Disc
Recordable, also known as write-once discs) and CD-RW (Compact
Disc ReWritable) discs.
There are many uses for CD-RW and CD-R discs. For example, you
can use CD-RW discs to copy your important files each week, free
up disk space on your hard drive, transport files to and from work,
or hold large complex files as you develop them. On CD-R discs you
can permanently save large project files or store home records,
share memories with family and friends, or copy your music onto
CD for personal use.
WARNING
For your safety, never remove the PC's cover without first removing
the power cord from the power outlet and any connection to a
telecommunication network. Always replace the cover before
switching on again. To avoid electric shock and harm to your eyes
by laser light, do not open the laser module. The laser module
