Optical drive
Your computer may come with a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or a combo DVD/
CD-RW, DVD+/-RW, or DVD-RAM(Supermulti plus) 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
digital video discs (DVDs) as well. 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. The CD-RW drive allows you to record or burn CD-RW
(recordable and rewritable) 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.
