Operating Basics

Using optical media drives

The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the DVD-ROM drive. However, operation is the same for other optical drive in the Slim Select Bay. The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM- based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD-ROM, an indicator on the drive glows and the Slim Select Bay indicator glows.

Use the WinDVD 4 application to view DVD-Video discs.
