Doing Common Tasks

Inserting a CD or DVD

There are three basic types of compact disc (CD) drives: CD-ROM drives, which can read audio and data CD discs, CD-RW drives, which can read and record audio and data CD discs, and DVD-ROM drives, which can read DVD discs. Select models have a DVD+R/RW drive, which can read and write CD and DVD discs. Some computers have a combo drive, which combines the functions of a CD-RW and DVD or a CD-RW and DVD+R/RW into one drive. On some PCs the CD-RW drive is labeled hp cd-writer and the DVD-RW drive is labeled hp dvd writer.

Note: There are two types of DVD discs: DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW. DVD-R and DVD-RW discs do not work in the DVD+R/RW drive.
