Chapter 2 — Getting Started

The CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD Drive

Your computer comes with a pre-installed CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD drive.

The CD-ROM drive is a read-only drive. It cannot be used to write data to a

recordable CD. The CD-ROM drive can read data from CDs, including audio

or video CDs. The CD-RW can perform these same functions, as well as

record information to writeable CD's. The DVD drive can read both DVDs and

CDs. Your notebook identifies the drive with the letter following the hard drive

letter. If your hard drive is D, then the CD-ROM drive will be E.

Inserting a Disk

1. Press the button on the front of

the drive to open the disk tray

and pull the tray open.

2. Place the disk on the tray, label

side up.

3. Place the disk on the central

spindle and press gently until the

disk clicks into place.

4. Slide back the tray until it clicks

shut.

Removing a Disk

1. Make sure the computer is not

accessing the CD-ROM drive.

2. Press the eject button and pull

the tray all the way out.

3. Pick up the CD by the edges and

remove the CD-ROM from the

tray. Push the tray into the

computer until it closes fully.

Warning: When the computer is reading from a CD-

ROM/CD-RW/DVD, the indicator light for the CD-ROM

will flash on. Do not attempt to remove a disk

while this light is active.
