Playing CDs using Auto-Run
If you insert a CD into the DVD-ROM/multi-function drive
and the Auto-Run feature does not automatically start your
disc, try launching the CD manually. To do this, follow these
steps:
1 Click Start, My Computer.
2 Click the DVD-ROM/multi-function drive icon.
The disc drive will run the CD.
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 point it to play the CD. For other types of media, use the
associated software to open the files on the disc.
Creating a CD
Depending on your DVD configuration, your computer may
come 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
±R/±RW
or DVD RAM discs.
Copy protection technology included in certain media may
prevent or limit recording or viewing of the media.
For details on how to use the software, please refer to the
respective Online Help menus.
