Playing a CD/DVD
If you insert a CD/DVD into the optical drive and the Auto-
Run feature does not automatically start your disc, try
launching the CD/DVD manually. To do this, follow these
steps:
1 Click Start, and then My Computer.
2 Click the optical drive icon.
The disc drive will run the CD/DVD.
If your disc does not run using this method, try using an
application that is associated with the media on the disc. For
example, if it is a music CD, open Windows
®
Media Player
and use it to select and then play the CD. For other types of
media, use the associated software to open the files on the
disc.

with a multi-function drive that allows you to:
❖ Play pre-recorded DVDs
❖ Play pre-recorded CDs
❖ Read and write data (depending on your system
configuration) and music files to CD-Recordable (CD-R)
and CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs; and DVD
