Operating Basics
Using optical media drives
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optical
DVD-ROM drive. However, operation is the same for all other optical
media drives. 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.
If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer to the Writing CDs on
CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer to the Writing CD/DVDs on
