Viewing the contents of a CD or DVD
CDs and DVDs contain files just like diskettes and the hard
disk. CDs are often used to install software or store files that
require lots of space, such as photographs and large
presentation files. You can use Explorer or My Computer to
view the contents of any CD or DVD.
Removing a disc with the computer on
Never press the eject button or turn off the computer while the
drive-in-use light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disk
or the drive.
1Locate and press the eject button.
The disc tray partially opens.
2Grasp the sides of the disc tray and pull it fully open.
3Remove the disc from the disc tray and place it in its
protective cover.
If the disc is spinning when you open the disc tray, wait for the
disc to stop before removing it.
4Close the disc tray by pressing gently on the center of the
tray until it clicks, indicating that it is locked.
