Drive and Media Information

You can use several different types of media with your CD or DVD drives. Media simply refers to the type of disc you insert into the CD or DVD drive.

The type of drive determines what you can do with your drive you have and the media you use in the drive. For example, you can listen to music, but not record it, if you use a CD-ROM disc in the CD drive. On the other hand, you can record and playback a DVD movie, if you use a DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in the DVD-R/RW drive.

Here are the types of media supported on your DVD-R/RW drive.
