Using a Combo Drive

Some PCs have a combination drive (known as
a combo drive), which combines the functions of
two drives into one. These drives feature either a
DVD+RW/+R drive and a CD-RW drive, or a
DVD-ROM and a CD-RW drive.

If you insert:

■ A software program CD, it is available for use.
■ A music CD, a window opens for the program

that plays CDs. See “Playing Music”
on page 3–8.

■ A DVD movie, the Video window and

InterVideo WinDVD Player control panel open.
See “Playing a Movie” on page 3–8.

■ A blank CD-R or CD-RW disc, use RecordNow

CD/DVD Writer to copy audio or data files.

■ A blank DVD, a program opens for you to use

to record to the disc. See “Recording with the
DVD Writer Drive” on page 3–17.
