Using the optical media drive

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 and CD-R/RW drive, refer also to the

Writing CDs

with the DVD-ROM and CD-R/RW drive

section for precautions on writing

to CDs/DVDs.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the

Writing CD/DVDs with

the DVD Super Multi drive

section for precautions on writing to CDs/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 application to view DVD movie discs.
