DVD-ROM Drive

All the software necessary to use your computer and connect to the Internet is already installed on your PowerBook. ( You need to use the PowerBook CDs that came with your computer only if you are having problems and need to reinstall system software.) However, if you purchased additional software with your PowerBook, you can install or run programs from CD and DVD discs using the optical DVD-ROM drive.

Note: If you have older software that comes on floppy disks, contact the software manufacturer to see if the software is available on a CD-ROM disc or purchase a third-party external floppy disk drive (such as an LS120/SuperDisk) from your Apple dealer or

the Apple Store (www.apple.com/store).

Inserting a CD or DVD Disc

To install or use programs from a CD or DVD disc, follow these steps:

1With the computer turned on, insert the disc (with the label facing up) into the drive slot until you feel the drive catch the disc and take it the rest of the way in.

Emergency

eject hole

Paper clip

2When the icon for the disc appears on the desktop, the disc is ready to use.

Important Your PowerBook’s optical DVD-ROM drive supports standard circular 12 cm and 8 cm discs. Irregularly shaped discs and discs smaller than 8 cm are not supported. Non-circular discs may become lodged in the drive.
