Playing an Optical Disc
You can play a CD or a DVD in your optical drive.
The information in this section applies to most optical drives and
most disc software. For information about specific disc software,
including Windows Media Player, WinDVD, and the CD creation
utility included with your notebook, refer to
“Using Multimedia
Software,” in Chapter 4.
Displaying Optical Disc Contents
When you insert a CD or DVD into the system, the notebook can
play the disc, display its contents, take no action, or display a
response prompt on the screen. You can choose how the notebook
responds to the insertion of a disc by using the operating system
AutoPlay feature.
When AutoPlay is enabled, in most cases your notebook responds
to the following procedures as described:
■ To prevent an audio CD from opening when AutoPlay is
enabled on the drive containing it, press the shift key as you
insert the CD.
■ To display the contents of a disc when the contents are not
displayed by AutoPlay:
1. Insert the disc into the drive.
2. Select Start > Run, and then type:
x: (where x is the designation of the drive containing
the
disc.)
3. Press enter.
