Playing CDs using Auto-Run
If you insert a CD into the DVD-ROM/multi-function drive
and the Auto-Run feature does not automatically start your
disk, try launching the CD manually. To do this, follow these
steps:
1Open the Start menu and select My Computer.
2Click the DVD-ROM/multi-function drive icon.
The disc drive will run the CD.
If your disk does not run using this method, try using an
application that is associated with the media on the disk. For
example, if it is a music CD, open Windows® Media Player
and point it to play the CD. For other types of media, use the
associated software to open the files on the disk.
Creating a CD
Depending on your DVD configuration, your computer may
come with a multi-function drive that allows you to:
❖Play pre-recorded DVDs
❖Play pre-recorded CDs
❖Read and write data (depending on your system
configuration) and music files to CD-Recordable (CD-R)
and CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs; and DVD±R/±RW
or DVD RAM discs.
Copy protection technology included in certain media may
prevent or limit recording or viewing of the media.
For details on how to use the software, please refer to the
respective Online Help menus.
