Components
The CD-ROM, CD-RW,
and DVD-ROM drives are
often called optical drives
because they use light to
read and write information
to a compact disc (CD) or
DVD. These discs store
massive amounts of
information.
Your CD-ROM drive
allows you to read data
from a CD. A CD holds
600 Mb of data.
The CD-RW drive allows
you to read and write data
to disc(s) for permanent
storage. The CD-RW drive
allows you to record video
and audio.
The DVD-ROM drive
allows you to view your
favorite movies and listen
to music on DVDs. It can
also read CDs.
You do not have to place the
lock in the up position after
replacing the new drive(s).
