CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive

Your computer may come with a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or a CD-RW drive. This drive is located on the front panel of your computer. The CD-ROM drive allows you to play different types of compact discs (CDs). The DVD-ROM drive allows you to play not only old CD-ROMs, CD-I discs, and video CDs, but new digital video discs (DVDs) as well. The CD-RW drive allows you to record or burn CD-RW (recordable or rewritable) discs. DVD or DVD-ROM is a new type of disc media that holds a minimum of 4.7-GB (gigabytes), enough for a full-length movie. It is believed that it will eventually replace CD-ROMs, as well as VHS video cassettes and laser discs.

CDs and DVDs, like diskettes, are also compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around. However, they are more delicate than diskettes and must be handled with extra care.

To insert a CD or DVD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive:

1.Gently push the eject button located on the front panel.

Caution! Avoid using low quality CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs, because they could be damaged by your computer’s CD or DVD drive.
