Using the Combo Drive
The combination drive is available on select
models only. It combines the functions of two
drives into one: either a DVD+RW/+R drive
and a CD-RW drive, or a DVD-ROM drive and
a CD-RW drive.
When you insert a disc in the combo drive, the
computer automatically detects the type of disc:

If you insert a software program CD, it is
available for use.

If you insert a music CD, a window opens
for the program that plays CDs. See
“Playing Music CDs” on page 57.

If you insert a DVD movie, the Video window
and WinDVD control panel open. See
“Playing DVD Movies” on page 61.
If you insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW, use
RecordNow to copy audio or data files. If you
insert a blank DVD, a program opens for you to
use to record to the disc. See “Using the CD-RW
Drive” on page 60.
Using the
DVD+RW/+R Drive
The DVD+RW/+R drive is available on select
models only.
The DVD+RW/+R drive plays movie DVDs
and music CDs, reads data CDs and DVDs, and
records files to DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R, and
CD-RW discs.
Note:
There are two types of DVD discs: DVD+RW/R
and DVD-R/RW. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs
do not work in the DVD+RW/+R drive.
The guide for this drive is printed and included
in the computer box (select models).
