Using optical media drives
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optical
DVD-ROM drive. However, operation is the same for all other optical media
drives. The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/
DVD-ROM-based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm
(3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used
for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/
DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows.
If you have a DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive, refer also to the
section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the
section for precautions on writing to CD/DVDs.
If you disconnect the floppy disk drive or turn off the power while the
computer is accessing the drive you may lose data or damage the floppy
disk or the drive.
Use the WinDVD 5 application to view DVD-Video discs.
