Operating Basics

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.

CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
