Using the CD or DVD Drive
CD-RW Basics
The CD-RW drive allows you to create your own CDs. You can
buy two types of media: CD-RW and CD-R. CD-RW refers to
compact discs (or drives) that are readable and writable.
CD-RW discs can hold more than 450 times the information that
can be stored on a floppy disk and CD-R media can be played on
most of the newer CD players, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives.
CD-R media can be written to only once. However, you can write
to CD-RW media using multiple recording sessions until you
close out the disc. CD-RW media can be used to make backups of
your personal CDs or hard disk. These discs are reusable and can
be erased and rewritten to numerous times.
If your notebook has a CD-RW drive and the Easy CD Creator
Kit, you can create your own audio and data CDs.
