Chapter 4: Using software

1.Insert the disc into the optical drive.

2.When the installation wizard opens, follow the on-screen instructions.

3.Restart the computer if you are prompted to do so.

✎For information about using software included with the computer, refer to the software manufacturer’s instructions, which may be provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer’s Web site.

Creating (burning) a CD or DVD (select models only)

If your computer includes an optional external optical drive that supports CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW discs, you can burn data, video, and audio files, including .mp3 and .wav music files, using multimedia software.

Observe the following guidelines when burning a CD or DVD:

■Before burning a disc, save and close any open files and close all programs.

■A CD-RW or DVD-RW disc is generally best for burning data files, or for testing audio or video recordings before you burn them to a CD or DVD that cannot be changed.

■A CD-R or DVD-R disc is usually best for burning audio files, because after the information is copied, it cannot be changed.

■Because some home and car stereos will not play CD-RWs, use a CD-R to burn music CDs.

■DVD players used in home systems usually do not support all DVD formats. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions that came with your DVD player for a list of supported formats.

■An .mp3 file uses less disc space than other music file formats, and the process for creating an MP3 disc is the same as the process for creating a data file. An .mp3 file can be played only on MP3 players or on computers with MP3 software installed.
