Operating Basics

Using optical media drives

The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optional

media 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. For detailed information,

refer to Chapter 8,

libretto DVD Dock

If you have a DVD-ROM and CD-R/RW drive, refer also to the

CDs.
