Installing CD-RW Software
Did you know...
The CD-RW drive allows you to create your
own CDs. You can buy two types of media: CD-RW and CD-R.
CD-RW refers to compact discs (or drives) that are readable and
writable. CD-RW discs can hold more than 450 times the
information that can be stored on a floppy disk and CD-R media
can be played on most of the newer CD players, CD-ROM and
DVD-ROM drives. CD-R media can be written to only once.
However, you can write to CD-RW media using multiple
recording sessions until you close out the disc. CD-RW media can
be used to make backups of your personal CDs or hard disk.
These discs are reusable and can be erased and rewritten to
numerous times.

Note
CD-RW software is only available on selected models.
