4 Close the tray by pushing it gently.
When the computer is in Standby or Hibernate mode, you cannot insert or remove a disc.
Be sure to seat the disc firmly over the disc drive hub fingers. If you do not seat the disc firmly, you could damage your disc drive and you may not be
able to open the tray.
When you finish using a disc, wait until the LED indicator turns off and then press the eject button to remove the disc.
If the disc does not come out when you press the eject button, go to My Computer. Select the drive, click the right button of your mouse and select
Eject. If it still does not work, turn off the computer and insert a thin, pointed object into the manual eject hole.
Using the CD-RW function
Depending on your model, your notebook is equipped with a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive.
To burn CDs, you can use CD-RW and CD-R discs:
The CD-RW (CD-ReWritable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write, erase and rewrite
a program or other data.
The CD-R (CD-Recordable) disc is a data memory medium that can be used to write a program or other
data, but once only.
To achieve optimum performance when writing data on a CD-RW disc, follow these recommendations:
Before writing to a new CD-RW, you must first format the disc. If you do not format the disc, your
computer will not recognize it.
To make a CD-R’s data readable on a CD-ROM drive, you need to close the session when you eject it. To
complete this process, follow the instructions included with your software.
Only use circular discs. Do not use discs with any other shape (star, heart, card, etc.), as this may damage
the CD-RW drive.
Do not strike or shake the computer while writing data to a disc.
For optimal writing speed, deactivate the screensaver before writing data to a disc.
