Operating Basics

Using optical media drives

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

operation is the same for all 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, an indicator on the drive glows.

If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on

CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD±R/±RW drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on

DVD±R/±RW drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on

DVD Super Multi drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD-ROM drive, you only can read DVD and CD from your

driver but no write capability to writable DVD or CD format.

Use the WinDVD 5 application to view DVD-Video discs.
