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.

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 Double Layer), refer also to the Writ-
ing CD/DVDs on DVD Super Multi drive(+-R Double Layer) section for precau-
tions on writing to CDs/DVDs.
