Operating Basics

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 programs. 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.

If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on

CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive (+-R DL), refer also to the Writing CD/

DVDs on DVD Super Multi drive (+-R DL) section for precautions on writing

to CDs/DVDs.
