following precautions:
Remove any CD from the drive before moving the drive.
Do not insert foreign objects into the drive.

Do not remove the drive cover or attempt to service the drive.

Using CD-R and CD-RW discs
The CD-ReWritable drive can write to both CD-R and CD-RW discs.
CD-R discs cannot be erased, but can be used with standard CD-ROM
drives and CD players. You can use CD-R discs to record audio
tracks, store data, archive files, and copy files from another CD.
CD-RW discs can be erased and re-written, but can be used only with
newer Multi-Read and CD-RW compatible CD-ROM and DVD-ROM
drives. You can use CD-RW discs to back up, store and update files,
or to copy files from another CD.
Note: CD-R discs are playable on audio CD players. CD-RW discs
are not playable on most audio CD players.
