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.
