Using optical media drives
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optical DVD-ROM
drive. However, operation is the same for all other optical media drives. The full-
size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM-based pro-
grams. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an
adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation.
When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive
glows.
NOTE: Use the WinDVD application to view DVD-Video discs.
