Using the CD-ROM Drive

Your CD-ROM drive can run software on CD-ROMs as well as play music CDs. This section shows you how to perform these different tasks.

Note: If you have any problems with your CD-ROM drive, see Chapter 2, “Troubleshooting,” in the Getting Help guide.

Inserting a CD

To insert a CD in the CD-ROM drive:

1Make sure your computer is turned on.

2To eject the disc tray, press the button under the CD-ROM drive.

3Remove the CD from its case, holding onto the disc’s edges only.

4With the label facing up, gently place the disc in the tray.

5Press the button under the CD-ROM. The disc tray glides back inside the computer.

Caring for CDs

As with diskettes, CDs require special handling so that you don’t lose important information. Follow these tips:

•Return CDs to their protective cases when you are finished using them.

•Avoid touching the underside of the disc with your fingers or placing the disc face up on your desktop. Doing so could scratch the surface.

•Handle the disc by its outside edges or inner hole only.

•Store CDs at room temperature.
