79 Using the Optional Built-in CD-ROM Drive
2 Take the CD-ROM disc out of the tray.
Store your disc in a safe place, away from heat, dust, and moisture.
3 Push the tray in, or press the Open/Close button, to close the tray.
To avoid possible damage to the tray and the CD-ROM drive, keep the tray
closed when you are not using it.
Copying files from CD-ROM discs
To install an application program on your internal hard disk from a CD-ROM
disc, insert and open the CD-ROM disc. Then look for a Read Me file or
follow the instructions that came with the disc to install the application. (For
instructions on using a CD-ROM disc, see “Inserting a CD-ROM Disc” and
“Ejecting a CD-ROM Disc” earlier in this chapter.)
IMPORTANT Never copy an entire CD-ROM disc to your hard disk by dragging
the CD-ROM disc icon to your hard disk. If you do, you may inadvertently
copy duplicate system software files onto your hard disk and take up hard disk
space with unnecessary files.
Note: Many applications that come on CD-ROM discs require you to have the
CD-ROM disc in the drive whenever you use the application even though
you’ve installed the application on your computer’s hard disk and opened the
copy on the hard disk.
