Using Your Optical Drive
You can install or use software from CDs using your optical drive. You can play multimedia on
CD discs and music from audio CDs. Your optical drive can write music, documents, and
other digital files on CD-R and CD-RW discs. You can also play DVD movies and use most
DVD discs.
If you have a SuperDrive, you can also record information on blank DVD-R (recordable DVD)
discs.
Note: If you have older software that comes on floppy disks, contact the software
manufacturer to see if the software is available on a CD, or purchase an external USB
floppy disk drive for your PowerBook G4 from your Apple dealer or the Apple Store
(www.apple.com/store).
Important The optical drive on your PowerBook supports standard circular 12 cm discs.
Irregularly shaped discs or discs smaller than 12 cm are not supported. Noncircular discs may
become lodged in the drive.
