THE OPTICAL DRIVE
Your Notebook has a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive. This drive can play
everything that a DVD-ROM drive can play: DVD movies, music CDs, and
data DVDs and CDs. It can also run software programs from CDs and DVDs.
In addition, this drive can write data and music CDs and copy CDs. It writes
to CD-R or CD-RW.
