Operating Basics

Using optical disc drives

The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from your drive, but

operation is the same for all optical disc drives. The full-size drive provides

high-performance execution of disc-based programs. You can run either

12cm (4.72") or 8cm (3.15") discs without an adapter. An ATAPI interface

controller is used for disc drive operation. When the computer is accessing

a disc, an indicator on the drive illuminates.

If you have a DVD Super Multi drive or HD DVD drive, refer also to the

Writing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drive section or HD DVD drive

section for precautions on writing to CDs.

1. Turn on the power.
2. a. Press the eject button to open the drawer slightly.

paper clip into the eject hole just to the right of the eject button.
