Operating Basics

Using the optical disc drive

Operation is the same for all optical media drives. The full-size drive

provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-based programs. You

can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CDs without an adaptor. An

ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD operation. When the

computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the drive glows.
Refer also to the
