Using the Computer
3. Click the hard disk drive you are checking.
4. Notice the amount of free space listed in the Details area and
make sure it is enough for your application or data.
Using the CD or DVD Drive
Your computer may have one or two optical drives—CD-ROM,
CD-RW, DVD-ROM, and/or DVD+R/RW drives—depending on
the model you purchased. These drives allow you to perform
several different activities, such as storing information, listening
to music, or viewing and creating movies.
DVD-ROM and DVD+R/RW drives take longer to begin
playback than CD drives because they must determine the type of
media being played. If any of the drives fails to play a disc, check
to make sure that the disc is inserted with the label facing up
(facing left on tower models) and properly seated in the drive.
