Optical drive
Your computer may come with a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or a combo
DVD/CD-RW drive. This drive is located on the front panel of
your computer. The CD-ROM drive allows you to play different
types of compact discs (CDs). The DVD-ROM drive allows you to
play not only old CD-ROMs, CD-I discs, and video CDs, but
digital video discs (DVDs) as well. DVD or DVD-ROM is a type of
disc media that holds a minimum of 4.7-GB (gigabytes), enough
for a full-length movie. The CD-RW drive allows you to record or
burn CD-RW (recordable and rewritable) discs.
CDs and DVDs, like diskettes, are also compact, lightweight,
and easy to carry around. However, they are more delicate than
diskettes and must be handled with extra care.
To insert a CD or DVD into your computer’s CD-ROM or DVD
drive:
1. Gently push the Eject button located on the front panel.
