To insert a disc, push the load/eject button on your LaCie DVD Dual Drive. When the disc tray opens, put the DVD/CD media

Warning!
Do not attempt to open the drive's media tray or remove the DVD/CD while the unit is in use and being
accessed by the computer. You may injure yourself, and damage the drive and/or your computer system.
Warning!
Do not transport the drive with the tray open or with a DVD/CD inside it. Doing so may damage the drive
and/or data stored on the disc, and will void your warranty.
