CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive
Your computer may come with a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or a CD-RW
drive. This drive is located on the front panel of your computer. The
CD-ROM drive allows you to play different types of compact discs (CDs).
The DVD-ROM drive allows you to play not only old CD-ROMs, CD-I
discs, and video CDs, but new digital video discs (DVDs) as well. The
CD-RW drive allows you to record or burn CD-RW (recordable or
rewritable) discs. DVD or DVD-ROM is a type of disc media that holds a
minimum of 4.7-GB (gigabytes), enough for a full-length movie. It may
eventually replace CD-ROMs, as well as VHS video cassettes and laser
discs.
CDs and DVDs, like diskettes, are also compact, lightweight, and easy
to carry around. However, they are more delicate than diskettes and
must be handled with extra care.
To insert a CD or DVD into your computer’s CD-ROM or DVD drive:
1.
Gently push the eject button located on the front panel.
