Operating Basics

Using the optical disc drive

Operation is the same for all optical media drives. The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-based programs.

You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") discs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the drive glows.

Refer also to the Writing CD/DVD with the DVD Super Multi drive or HD DVD-ROM drive supporting DVD±R DL section for precautions on writing to CDs/DVDs.
