drives available for your computer are:

CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and CD-RW drives
Your computer has four drive bays to accommodate various types of drives.
In this book, bays are referred to as bay 1, bay 2, bay 3, and bay 4. On
most models, three of the bays hold factory-installed drives and bay 2 is
empty. Some models have drives installed in all four bays.
