Using the Combo Drive

The combination drive is available on select models only. It combines the functions of two drives into one: either a DVD+RW/+R drive and a CD-RW drive, or a DVD-ROM drive and a CD-RW drive.

When you insert a disc in the combo drive, the computer automatically detects the type of disc:

If you insert a software program CD, it is available for use.

If you insert a music CD, a window opens for the program that plays CDs. See “Playing Music CDs” on page 57.

If you insert a DVD movie, the Video window and WinDVD control panel open. See “Playing DVD Movies” on page 61.

If you insert a blank CD-R or CD-RW, use RecordNow to copy audio or data files. If you insert a blank DVD, a program opens for you to use to record to the disc. See “Using the CD-RW Drive” on page 60.
