The IBM CD-RW & DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD contains several video device drivers in the \DRIVERS\VIDEO directory. These can be useful if you are having difficulty playing back DVD videos. Before using them, consult your system manual to determine what video hardware you have. To install them, use the Add New Hardware feature of your operating system.

Step 9. Setting up your computer for DVD video playback

This section provides instructions on enabling DMA settings so you can play DVD movies with your DVD-ROM drive.

Enabling the DMA settings

Check the version number of your operating system, and then follow the appropriate instructions for enabling DMA which are included in “Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver configuration settings” on page C-1.

1.Click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2.Double-click System and read the version number under System.

v If your operating system version number is 4.00.950B or 4.00.95C, follow the instructions under “Changing the Auto Insert Notify and DMA parameters for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me” on

page C-1.

vIf your operating system version number is 5.00.2195, follow the instructions under “Enabling DMA for Windows 2000” on page C-1.

The IBM CD-RW & DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD contains several IDE bus master drivers in the \DRIVERS\ATAPI directory. These are used to support DVD Video playback under Windows NT 4.0. Consult your system manual and the README file in the driver directory to determine if your system supports one of these device drivers.

Using CD-R and CD-RW discs

The CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combination Drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs. CD-RW discs can be erased and reused many times; CD-R discs can be written to only once.

MyCD is used to copy CDs, create new data CDs, and produce new audio CDs that can be read by standard CD-RW drives and CD players.

DLA is used to make file archives and data CDs that can be altered many times. It also provides the convenience of direct drive-letter access. When used with CD-RW media, DLA is very much like using a diskette to store files. If DLA is used with CD-R media, you can write and rewrite until the CD is full,
