The CD-ROM drive allows
you to read data from a CD
or listen to a music CD.
The CD-RW drive allows
you to read and write data
to a disc(s) for storage, and
allows you to listen to
music or read data CDs.
The DVD-ROM drive
allows you to view your
favourite movies, listen to
music, or read information
from CDs.
If a CD doesn’t play, make
sure the drive is closed.
Using the Hard Drive
The hard drive stores system files, software, and data files inside
your computer. When you install software, download files from
the Internet, receive e-mail and attachments, or create new files,
the computer saves them on your hard drive. The available
storage space is gradually used. To regain storage space, you can
delete files or programmes loaded on your computer, or save
them on external media such as diskettes, CD-R or CD-RW
discs.
