If you need to open the CD drawer when the unit power is not on, you can
use the emergency release, which is the small hole located on the drive tray
to the right of the eject button. Use a paper clip to press on the release
inside the hole. The tray can then be pulled gently forward until the disc
can be retrieved. Slide the tray back into place until you feel it click. This
method is designed to be used occasionally for an emergency retrieval of a
disk and should not be used as a regular method of removing disks. Your
drive will last longer if you remove the disk using the normal unloading
method. Another alternative would be to use the [Fn]+[F10] hotkey combi-
nation to eject the CD drawer.
If your WinBook notebook has a DVD drive, you will be able to use this
drive to play DVD video disks. See Chapter 7 for more information about
DVD use.
CD-R/CD-RW Drive
If your unit came the Combination Optical drive, you will have the ability
to write to CD-R and CD-RW disks. The physical operation of this drive is
the same as for a CD-ROM or DVD drive (as explained in the previous
section).
CD-R disks can be written to once, although you can continue to add
information to the disk until it is full. Once you have written data (or
audio) to the disk, that disk can be formatted for reading in most standard
CD-ROM drives or audio CD-players.
Note: some older drives will not be able to read from these disks.
You can write to CD-R disks and use them to distribute your data
to other users. CD-R drives come in two capacities:
1. 650MB (data)/74 minute (CD audio)
2. 700MB (data)/80 minute (CD audio)
CD-RW disks can be erased and reused many times. CD-RW disks
