Your computer has a CD-ROM drive, a DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive, or a SuperDrive. Each drive can read CD-ROM discs, photo CDs, standard audio discs, and other kinds of media. Both the Combo drive and SuperDrive can also read DVD discs and DVD movies, and write music, documents, and other digital files to CD-R and CD-RW discs. The SuperDrive can also write to blank DVD-R discs using the Finder or iDVD. To open the drive, press the Media Eject ( ) key on your Apple Keyboard.
