Using Your CD Drive

Here are the topics covered in this chapter:

Operating the CD Drive

Mounting and Unmounting a CD

Verifying the CD Drive Operation

Configuring the CD Driver

Audio Control for the CD Drive

CD Media Description

The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX 10.20 or later operating system with the HP CDE interface.

For information about installing or removing a CD drive, see Chapter 5 of this document.

Be sure you have read and understand the information on mounting and unmounting CDs before you begin using your CD drive.

This chapter requires you to be superuser (root). If you cannot log in as root, contact your system administrator.

In this chapter, the terms “CD” and “CD drive” are used rather than “CD-ROM” and “CD-ROM drive” because the CD drives used in the B1000 and C3000 can read the original CD-ROM disks, plus CD-R disks and the newer CD-RW disks (also call “CD-RAM” because they are rewritable). Thus, since not all CDs are ROMs any longer that portion of the term has been dropped.

Incidentally, the CD drives also are multisession-capable.
